Normal
I'm the same way - my bedroom is at the front of my apartment building, and directly faces a four-lane thoroughfare that's pretty well trafficked throughout the day and night. Although I have double-pane windows, you can still hear vehicles pass by.Overall I think I'm pretty tolerable, but I will say that it's substantially easier for me to be mute to - or adjust to, in the case of trying to fall asleep - a continuous noise like a fan or high traffic, compared to an intermittent noise of the same volume. Coupled with the fact that I'm generally always actively listening or watching or something when I'm using my computer, and the fan noise can get pretty loud before I'm annoyed by it.To wit, I've been rocking a 2012 rMBP as my sole computer for four years now, and the noise has never been close to an issue.
