It was quiet af when I baught it , especially since I was using the hinduman one . But after playing with it for some time I got used to it and I find that it ' s at a good volume , but it is quiet compared to other aps . <| sep |> here ' s my post from about a year ago . FWIW I no longer live in Sunalta , but this should answer some of your questions . i ' ve lived in Sunalta for almost 20 years , i grew up here , went to school in the neighborhood , and I ' m still here . There ' s some great buildings to live in , and some dumpy dingy ones . There ' s some beautiful houses , and some dingy ones that will probably get torn down anyway . You have a mix of everyone living here , from recent immigrants to students to business people , single people , young families with kids , older retired people . etc . When it comes to issues in the neighborhood , there are some for sure . Car prowlings do occasionally happen and I ' ve had my car broken into once , as has one of my friends who also lives here . It ' s a good idea to not leave anything in your car . I know people have had their tires slashed too . But that ' s once or twice in the last 20 years . We get a fair share of drug addicts and homeless people lingering around , especially closer to the liquor store off 14 th , but really I ' ve never had any issues there . I ' ve gotten used to them and they don ' t bother me . You tend to see the same group anyway tbh . some of them I know by name , which usually gets them off my case if they ask me for money . I just chat them up and talk to them like anyone else , and they leave . Drug dealing happens in the neighborhood , you ' ll see sketchy looking dudes riding around on bicycles going around the block regularly or you will sometimes notice cars usually rentals coming and going , or idling in the alleyways waiting for business . There was a time when this was happening a lot more than I see it these days , but it still happens . It can be a little loud off of 14 th Street , and people can get a little loud on 14 th Street on the weekends , but I ' ve never had any problems with anyone , and IMHO wouldn ' t call it a rough area as someone did here . just be aware of your surrounds as anywhere else . However if you ' re not used to the noise , it can be loud . It ' s much much louder than the suburbs . But it ' s a great place to live . it ' s close to everywhere , it ' s very central , for me personally anywhere I need to be is max 15 minutes away . 17 th Ave is around the corner , tons of stores and bars and stuff if that ' s your thing . Everything is walkable , which you can ' t say for a lot of the new suburbs . I wouldn ' t trade that for anything in the world . I love not having to drive if I need to go get groceries . If friends are doing their birthday at any bar downtown or off 17 th , I don ' t have to worry about driving , because I can walk . i love this neighborhood , it ' s pretty much exactly what you ' d expect from a residential neighborhood this close to downtown . you get a bit of residential living with a bit of inner city living . i personally would not hesitate to buy here as long as you know what you ' re buying and are comfortable with the area hope it helps !
