If you can afford to live within jackhammer distance of a metro, you can afford earplugs

you ever tried convincing a scared crying 3 year old to put in an earplug?

I'm sure closing the windows, and putting on their favorite video, will work well enough to drown out the noise of the jackhammer. I lived a block from Caltrain for a few years and the loud whistles of the passing trains were a minor annoyance at best.

Screen time for children? This is hacker news -the collective groupthink will eat you alive for that suggestion /s

OK, have them listen to Mozart or whatever bourgeois parents these days think will turn their kids into geniuses :)

Won't some body think of the children?!

Wearing earplugs regularly isn't a solution, it's a sound bite and you know it. Just say you think peace doesn't actually matter.
