May I make a suggestion? I spent years in a high traffic area and car horns are rarely a constant din. The more you beep the higher your chances of pissing someone off to the point where they chase you with the shovel they keep in the back for emergencies. Surprisingly common

This made me think of something: where it does tend to be mostly a constant din, have the din start annoying, then the character eventually acclimates to it to an extent. Then, for some reason, there's a break in the sound, and the character gets the sweet relief of silence, forgetting how nice that feels. Then as soon as they get used to peace and quiet--it starts up again.
