generally i would expect it to be louder inside my house, than outside my house, considering that im living in my own fucking home.

Sure if you’re doing literally nothing, just sitting there in silence, staring at paint dry or something, it’s probably going to be louder outside than inside. But humans aren’t exactly known for doing that.

also tbf, cicadas are a fucking hellspawn. They’re equally as bad as this lawn equipment lmao.
