This place is loud...and I mean LOUD! You can hear conversations through the walls, people stomping around above, milotary planes flying overhead at all hours of the night, air conditioner fan buzzes. I had to wear earplugs just to sleep through the night. If you're deaf, the noise won't bother you... ...if you're *not deaf, you soon will be.😏
