Construction noise

I have been living with the daily noise from construction since spring. The buildings next to my apartment building were torn down over the summer, and now they have started laying the foundation for new buildings which means constant pounding from 7 am to 6 pm. The entire Department of Chemistry in Aarhus is going through a major renovation process, and the building my office is in, has been the subject of this since the beginning of summer. I thought that by moving to Illinois, I could finally be rid of this. I guess not...

The strangest thing I have noticed today, is that the cars do not have the turn-lights on the sides above the front wheels or on the mirror. They only have them on the sides of the front and back lights.
