How it must be like sleeping under a broken car muffler
All I’m saying is that if you have a deliberately loud muffler you should be chained to a rail replacement bus service.

Definitions
A muffler is anything — or anyone — that dulls, deadens, or suppresses sound or intensity. In practical terms it refers to a scarf worn around the neck in cold weather, or the exhaust component on a car that reduces engine noise. Colloquially it can describe a person who dampens the energy in a room, or any device used to muffle something. The word has wide everyday usage across British and American English without being especially slangy, but its versatility keeps it relevant.
He wrapped a thick muffler around his neck before stepping out into the January frost.
