Reply to comment by fac-ut-vivas-dude in [OT] Im a little stuck in a traffic jam sequence, i want to describe a constant din of car horns, and i want my reader to get just as annoyed by it as the real sound. Any tips? by soogland

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.
