“Here we have church bells that ring out regularly, roosters that crow early in the morning and herds of livestock that live nearby and at times carry cowbells that also make noise,” according to the tweet, which included an infographic.

The tweet notes: “If you can’t handle all this, you may not be in the right place.”
