In addition to suffering from the heat in cities in hot weather, those who do not have an air conditioner sometimes also suffer from the mechanical noise that the machine produces. Personally, I constantly hear three air conditioners near my home. The worst time is at night, with the window open to let in some fresh air.
I read in The Illustrated Petit Larousse “The hum of the train rocked us. The hum of the air conditioners lulls me too, but violently. You remember that father in second-rate comedies who rocks him harder and harder to lull his baby, who persists in staying awake. Well, that’s kind of it. Another inconvenience caused by climate change.
Warmer summers are expected. I’m going to have to get used to wearing earplugs, which horrify me.
