i moved from cincy ohio to mid ohio in the country on 85 acres, at first i was lonely but now i hate it when a car goes by. you learn to adjust, buy a hammock, grab some wine and a good book and RELAX. peace makes me happier than clubhopping and traffic. good luck

Depends on the situation. If I'm out with some friends then I like the loud, busy atmosphere. It's easier to be loud, let loose and have fun in those situations. But if it's a date then I definitely prefer a quiet place! It's a lot more romantic and it's easier to get a good connection going. It sometimes ruins the mood on the date when you have to keep yelling "Huh? What? I'm sorry, what did you say?" The best dinner dates would be something creative and romantic. Like packing a picnic and going out to some private place on a lake or river. I also love to cook so I wouldn't mind staying in and fixing up a new meal in the kitchen together :)

I moved to a quiet place and it is so nice to go home and be alone with my thoughts.
This is interesting because I was just thinking this morning how after I'd gone to the country for a week with little contact with others - only the trees, flowers, bees, birds and nature - how uncivilised London seemed! It was like looking at a circus and gave me a whole different perspective.
I, for one, will eventually live WAY out in the country - by the sea - and will make little effort to seek out the company of others.
Who in the world is giving all these people the "thumbs down" because they write that they enjoy the country more?! Tool.

i moved from one of the roughest housing estates in herfordshire, where it was a regular occurrence to hear.
loud parties, nuisance neighbours, police/paramedics/fire sirens all day & all night, sometimes.
gun-fire from drug-dealers, to each other or with armed police.
planes flying over-head every 20 mins or so, 24/7.
the weekly emptying of the glass recycling bins at the local community centre.
i've never heard anything as loud & frightening as a fire-work thrown in with a stack of broken glass!
the whole area sounded like a war zone from mid Sept until late Dec & then beyond, when the local yobs discovered the garden centre sold them all year round!
anyway you get the idea.
3 years ago i moved to a private estate in rural essex, where at night you can hear a pin drop.
no dogs barking, no shouting, no sirens & no planes.
apart from the usual culture shock which is entirely normal, i've never looked back.
i don't miss a single thing about my previous house, not even the neighbours.
going back to visit, which i have done a couple of times, i can't believe how noisy it was but because when you live there, you get used to it.
for me it was relief, a huge sigh of relief to move, i'd highly recommend it.

I lived in market rasen which is a very quiet part of the country but was originally from a town. I enjoyed the quietness but then missed my family too much so moved back to the town and i live on a street with a pub at both ends and lots of kids, there are dogs barking always on the backs but thats fine with me. The only time it bothers me is if i go to bed early and hear all the drunks at kicking out time but then i just think hey well i have done that too.

I moved from NYC to a ranch in Northern California. Culture shock aside, it was just too quiet at first. I had to run the TV and a white noise machine all the time. After I got adjusted I loved it, not flat or depressing.

I've always lived a short walk from the main road so I've always lived in quiet areas. My sister lives on the main trunk road from London to Dover. I can walk faster than the traffic moves and I walk painfully slowly. She's also on another main road (she's very close to the junction). It can take a bit of getting used to.

After living in Brixton, London for 40 years and having to listen to reggae, drums, deep bass music for the latter years,
I moved to a semi rural part of Kent, with the dawn chorus to wake me each day reasonably quiet during the day except for traffic. Then the night time silence is only broken by the occasional barking of foxes, hooting of owls and squealing of hedgehogs.
Total Bliss.

We moved from near the interstate to a place in Wisconsin near a racetrack and back to the interstate town before I ended up in a quiet residential neighborhood far from any highway. It is so nice, so peaceful! It's definitely a relief.

My son moved from the middle of a city out to the countryside. We all thought he was making a mistake and would hate it, but he loves the peace and quiet. He says he can always visit a town if he needs noise and nightlife

We just sold our house in a town with the pop. well over 200,000, and bought a few acres to build a new house outside of a town with less than 600 people. It will be great. No trains, No freeways, No neighbors
