ROFL!
No, I am hearing the hooting / horns of impatient Limeños, dogs barking, occasional sirens. I'd suspect some would say it's not loud, and it's our living room that fronts the busier street - the bedroom is somewhat quieter. Honestly, I feel I cansay Limeños are obsessed with crawl arms, and the go on 2/7 (which means they're so ubiquitous nobody gives
At least it's not the José Antonio, the first hotel we stayed in Miraflores (years ago, about four blocks away), where the windows are louvered jealousies - which have no way of excluding street noise.
I can't imagine people more obsessed with auto alarms than Limeńos, and these ubiquitous noisemakers go off 24/7. Which means nobody gives a horse's patoot and they're pretty useless. You can hear them all in the Hilton. Ditto horns / hooters; only the Mexico City Chilangos and Cairenes seem to use them more often to express, and they're very audible on, say, the fifth floor. Even the lined drapes don't do much to eliminate or attenuate the noise.
Thank goodness for my ear plugs!
