Too quiet? Too loud?

[ApS]

When my head hit the pillow last night, the neighborhood was still setting off rockets and other fireworks.

However, at exactly 2:38AM, I was awakened by a loud, droning boat in The Broads.

There's a half-mile of granite, clay, and forest between The Broads and my cottage! Was it noise -- or the relative silence after fireworks?

'Course, my windows were open. Anybody else notice?
