When I think of the everyday ES, I usually think of kids and teenagers using the hallways and/or atrium as a play/congregation area. Even if they are not purposely loud, noise seems to reverberate into the living rm area more then the bedroom.
Normal road or even highway traffic I can sleep through. Not the teens/kids playing running jumping and having great fun.
I like the ES rooms the way they are set up.
