It really is none of your business and you shouldn't write here if you cannot contribute to the conversation.
you should've kept your query to reddit. This forum is for the most part pretty unhelpful in comparison (and generally more toxic).
you got your answer in reddit. why did you think you'd get different answers here.
Not everyone from reddit is here too, and I figured I could use more opinions. Big thanks to everyone who really tried to help me out but some other users should really go **** themselves. The 'smell rich' guys should see a mirror first.

That's the NYC attitude!
Real, with a side of nice, and a bit of f8ck you when needed.

You have the right idea--the posts who actually offered suggestions are good.
If noise is a big issue for you, then West Village is generally pretty noisy compared to the rest of the US. It is a dense city and it's a popular neighborhood. However, no one knows what your threshold for what too much noise is--only you do. The best they can do is offer advice on what relative noise is in the neighborhood and they said the streets that are noisier than others and the configuration, such as being in the back rather than the street facing units, are. The last thing is that if you really want to see how you can handle noise better at certain times, then it doesn't hurt to see what technologies there are from the simple like ear plugs and static noise generators, to stuff like double paned windows.
The biggest thing is to insist on checking these things out on a Friday and Saturday night for the place in question and figure it out from there. Also realize that some people can get used to a level of ambient noise and some can't. It's often a lot more about knowing your own tolerance levels than the actual decibel values itself.

Noise is tough everywhere. I'm mid-block between Second and Third Avenues but bedroom window faces Second diagonally across a courtyard. If I open my bedroom window even a couple inches I am constantly awakened by air horns on trucks and sirens on ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks even being quite far from the avenue. It is no less loud now than when they were building the subway line.
Without my air conditioner, I would suffocate in the sealed apartment or be kept awake all night by street noise.
I think it's hilarious that transplants come here, want to live in Manhattan of all places and are concerned about noise and the subways. Manhattan is the last place you should live if you don't want to do deal with such things, or you could live on the UES where some blocks are nice and quiet and one is picked up by a town car and driven around.

I'm "shocked"
LoL
