Have you ever noticed that things sound louder at night?

Is because cold air squeezes particles therefore causing voice to travel faster

@Shaman just voice or all sounds?

@Shaman that's pretty cool!

Better known as the Impetus of Old Homes at Night Movement.. creeky doors, and window frames, and olde furnaces.

the emptiness of the streets makes it more echoey and I think without vision your hearing because more acute.

Yes probably because you can't see things

@vetguy1991 oh yea so the ears compensate for the lack of site maybe or your brain just pays more attention to sound

vetguy1991 · 51-55, M

I think so

Shaman is right. Wow I didn't know this

It's psychological.

Oh, yes. Due to the relative quiet, because other noises have ceased for the day.

@bijouxbroussard that's what I've always thought
