Silver KingTrust me, I have 3 kids right now ages 2,3 and 5. The absolute best thing you can do in your life is live next to loud noises. The fact that it has constantly loud (even by normal city standards) - car alarms, sirens, large trucks rumbling by, etc is the best thing you can hope for. Your baby will get used to those sounds and will sleep through every one of them. Then, when the kid turns one he will be a pro and sleep 12 hours a day with doorbells ringing, vacuuming, sirens and even your wife's screaming O's. Don't become one of those parents who makes their house like a library, your kid will start waking up whenever you make a noise. After your lease is up you can unpack everything in your quiet neighorhood and go on to making a number 2, kid that is.
