We are also rural and would consider the area quite quiet. SH2 is 1.7km away as the crow flies and we are well shielded by hills. But at 8 a.m. this morning I couldn’t believe how silent it was, don’t think I’d ever registered just how much ambient noise there is here.
However we are also on the Auckland to Tauranga flight path, and was quite surprised at the amount of air traffic earlier today, quite a few helicopters and light aircraft.
We did have the cop car go by earlier though, down to the campsite at the end of the road. Just checking I guess.
