At night, it's quieter, so sounds stand out more. Imagine you're in a big room with lots of people talking, it's hard to hear one person. But if everyone leaves and the room is empty, even a whisper feels loud. That’s like how it works outside at night: fewer noises around mean we can hear things better.
Examples
- A cat meowing in the middle of the night feels like it's right next door.
- Your mom’s voice on the phone at 10 PM feels louder than when she calls during the day.
- You can hear your neighbor’s radio clearly even though you usually can’t.
