I know what you mean about lawnmowers, although here it tends to be brush cutters, strimmers or hortokoptikos (as they are known in Greece) which make a lot of noise. Not sure about the earplugs, cicadas do quieten down at night.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09165924940988488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224758638664523775.post-72851441417157214462014-06-27T18:43:46.332+03:002014-06-27T18:43:46.332+03:00Yes, I think crickets would be a bit more gentle. ...Yes, I think crickets would be a bit more gentle.

I can't sit outside and relax on a nice day w/o someone, somewhere within hearing distance mowing their lawn.<br /><br />How many answers do you need to make this scientific?
