Besides your alarm? I've been noticing that, lately, my neighborhood has been more noisy than it ever has been before. In particular, my townhouse development I live in where we are all pretty much next to each other. Sometimes starting as early as 5am, I hear the following noises pretty loud for at least 2-3 hours... thus making it hard to sleep:
-Newspaper deliver guy's car at 5am
-Neighbor's loud truck across the way at 5:45am as he comes home from working late shift
-Next door neighbor opening his garage door and leaving at 6:30am
-Neighbor on other side, for some reason, likes to slam her doors while leaving for work at 7am like she's pissed off at the world
-7:08am and 7:48am there is a train that is in the neighborhood that now comes by
-7:30am all the high school kids of my neighbors leaving the area, seems like they car pool and make noise
-7:50am neighbors are taking their kids to the bus stop. By this time, I'm up anyway so I do my thing
-I've also been noticing more critters outside making noises, such as squirrels on the roof of my house or damn birds (mainly crows or geese) making more noise in general outside
Most of these noises are gone or I don't hear them as often if I sleep in my living room heh
