Anywhere downtown is absolutely awful in the warmer months. Dirt bikes, ATVs, loud pipe road bikes, Loud stereos. People come from all over the state just to make noise downtown all night because they want an audience.

Your only options living downtown are:

  1. Be okay with the noise or get used to it.
  2. Move onto the height floor of a tall building.
  3. Get a good white noise machine or earplugs (which won’t overcome a straight pipe Harley going max rev at 2am)
  4. Move to East rock.

I lived in 380 crown it’s a fairly quiet part of downtown closer to state st and I never heard shit. Also my unit was semi underground bad lighting but no noise good for night shift. Wooster square is also fine , or the smoothie building 10 min walk.

I’ve lived in Smoothie and 38 crown in the past. Smoothie overlooking Olive was probably quieter. What I really hated about 38 crown was that the traffic light to cross Orange is extremely long and motorcycles will sit at the light and rev their engines while they wait. I’ve had to pause movies to wait for them to get at least a block away and they woke me up from a dead sleep all summer long.
