New York City will always be the city that never sleeps or shuts up. But with most New Yorkers abiding by stay-at-home orders, many have become hyper-focused on the sounds they are hearing at home from upstairs and downstairs neighbors.
For example, Anthony Rivieccio, who lives in the Bronx, says he's been hearing sounds that are hard to ignore. "For some reason, they like to make love when they are listening to music..current disco music," he says with exasperation.
