Perhaps one day, you may give our dear Virgil's Aneid voice? ( In verse as well, not prose).

At about 8:20 ish, he described a man with PTSD

Umm, Seneca...did'nt he live in ancient Greece? Because...in the beginning, he really describes modern life...and its noises...Honestly, I'd love to have visited where he lived... :)Thanks for posting :)

Yes I'm always amazed at the sophistication of Roman life and how many similarities it had with our own. Court rooms, gymnasiums, rule of law etc.

And they had noisy lanes (streets) but they were noisy not because of cars. But because of horses that made noise when hitting the stone road. It was really noisy

He was roman but not really ancient roman he was one of Nero's advisers for a time.

How ironic that just a few years after this was written Seneca left the city for the countryside because of the noise. One of the few times I disagree with Seneca. Noise can kill your sleep, concentration and productivity. Trust me I know. Best decision I ever made for both myself and my business was buy a home somewhere quiet. This is supported by loads of scientific evidence on how noise(such as a train or airport) has dramatic effects on learning, productivity and stress levels.
