With massive sub woofers. \u00a0They play it loud to attract customers&#8230;usually lady gaga or some Spanish rap. \u00a0There are 1 or 2 tunes they play I don&#8217;t mind. \u00a0There has been complaints from the school about the noise&#8230;. I think we have reached a truce.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I hope the person who came up with the car alarm and the order the obnoxious sounds that play gets royalties. \u00a0I know if they were paid a fraction of a cent for each time an alarm went off in Loja, they would never have to work again.<\/div>\n<div>The alarms are set so low that a passing loud bike (Harley ) sets them off. \u00a0It is not uncommon to hear a bike go down the street and hear car,after car, after truck&#8217;s alarm going off.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>And then there are the people who don&#8217;t know how to turn off there alarm&#8230; They open their door and stumble for minutes trying to turn them off.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>This is the first place I have been where the garbage trucks sound like the good humor ice cream trucks. \u00a0They drive around the city playing this little tune out of a loudspeaker. \u00a0It lets you know that you have to put out your garbage. \u00a0It is neat to see the 3 or 4 guys on the back, running ahead or behind the truck, grabbing garbage and then running back to the truck&#8230;they really have to be in shape to run the amount they do.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>It may seem strange, but Tokyo with its much larger population was a quieter city then Loja.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>.<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 It is interesting the different sounds that can be heard.
