Seattle's not really known for noise. The opposite, if anything. Rain (caveat it's not the rain it's the dark and it's mostly mizzle blah blah blah) and traffic though, sure.

And homeless drug addicts.

I’ve never been there, but the US version of the tv series The Killing is so great and it sure gives a grim impression of the weather.

Not that serial killers are any better on a nice day in pleasant weather.
