City noise is just a chaotic metronome that keeps the brain in a constant state of “What the heck was I thinking?” And that’s exactly the sweet spot for those late‑night epiphanies—when your thoughts are still awake but your coffee is tired. The key is to filter the din, not drown it. Focus on the patterns that feel like a glitch in the matrix; that’s where the next big idea is hiding, probably behind a traffic jam and a distant siren. Just don’t let the noise convince you that you’re all wrong—use it as a soundtrack, not a distraction.
