There are also headphones that actively cancel sound – maybe that could be an option? It would really be a shame otherwise to lose the beautiful garden.

And 45-50 dB on my property is definitely not room-level noise.

I am actually a bit confused now. Our refrigerator is 37 dB, it is almost inaudible.
Google shows:
Decibel (dB) is the unit of measurement for sound levels. Humans perceive sounds between about 40 decibels and 65 decibels as quiet, normal, and pleasant. It becomes loud for us starting at around 80 decibels. Scientists also classify sounds from this threshold as “loud” or “noise.”

Even our honeydew melon is doing well in the greenhouse.

If 45dB is what actually reaches her terrace, then he’s definitely not playing music at a normal room volume.

And when you want peace and quiet, but the neighbor you don’t get along with is playing music you dislike, it becomes annoying. It’s not the music at 45dB itself that disturbs you, but the feelings it triggers: anger, frustration, helplessness.

I also believe that one should move away from considering sound pressure as the only factor. The duration and intrusion are important as well. The annoying neighbor listens to their annoying music all day long, preferably on Sundays and every Sunday, exactly when you just want to hear the birds.

Are you serious or are you making fun of us? It looks like a gravel pit, not a garden.

Haha, gravel pit. 😀
We deliberately chose not to use paved surfaces because we don’t want to increase sealed areas. Our driveway is also not paved, but just covered with gravel.

So far, about 70 plants have been planted between the stones, but that’s still far from enough. I underestimated that a bit. This week we’re going to the nursery again. It will probably take 2-3 years until the stones are well covered with plants and it no longer looks so “bare.” Our sand lizards have already moved back in. 🙂
