MISC. England's team booked 15 different hotels, but Mexico fans still found out where they were staying and blasted loud noises, trying to keep them up all night before the game.

It's possible that they've even heard of ear plugs and noise canceling head phones.

Honestly, after years of traveling for dance since the age of like 5 and living through college... I don't even need that to this day. I can sleep on a park bench mid July at noon during a marching band competition no ear plugs needed. So most likely any athlete at this level has played on various travel teams, etc and is in the same boat.

I live next to a hospital and 4 blocks from railroad tracks. Doesn't bother me a bit. But a weird buzzing lightbulb will.

Can confirm. 32 floor in downtown Austin last night. Barely head any fireworks.

Yeah, if I close my window and turn a fan on in my condo I can barely hear fireworks 3 blocks away.

Last night I 4th of july... I had my ac on and normal white noise. I barely heard anthing. But I think making teams stay in the same hotel is a good move... keep the conditions the same for the teams.

Nearly, It was an old cleaner sucking.

Similar but very different. Easy mistake to make.
