Wouldn’t it be more obvious, before such an extreme, probably financially rather tricky step, to tackle the underlying problem and maybe see a psychologist? It really does sound more like "pathological" when you listen to your descriptions. Maybe talking to a psychologist would make sense – to me, it all sounds like the condition called Misophonia. Many people have it, for example with smacking noises, but it comes in countless forms and is treatable. In my view, it’s definitely worth a try.Not really, no. But I don’t want to look for the next annoying neighbor. I’m rather searching (for a needle in a haystack) for a standalone property, an old farmhouse, a bit further out, without immediate neighbors, with a lot of land of its own. Then no one can disturb you from the side, if no one’s there. I don’t find it so far-fetched to consider it a major factor in quality of life if you can sit in a quiet garden after work and listen to leaves and birds. If that’s a crazy wish, then I’m just crazy. :p And that’s why I actually just wanted to gather experiences here, whether anyone has ever done it, selling a new build and buying/ building anew elsewhere. There can be many reasons for that, it doesn’t always have to be the neighborhood.
