Is it me or do others also hear roosters making their noise from 10pm onwards?As have been in Tanza(Cavite),Loay{Bohol} and now in Taguig City near Manila and they all do it.Make noise most of the night,hence dont get much sleep!!

Yes i know the toko,as had two in the Nipa Hut in Bohol,also terrible noise.Here in Taguig City there is none of those,however the roosters are every where.Tied up,near each other,waiting till the next cock fight.Did i mention dogs too.Well they should all be eaten!!

from what i have heard the roosters are breed and used for fighting, so you will not be able to escape the noise as just about every one in the asian countries have them, you could try earplugs

In all honesty, I think that's pretty normal in the Philippines especially if you live in a place a little bit far from the business center (e.g. mostly are residential places).

You can try lonely48's advise though. Earplugs for now.

Hi Mat.Well i can tell you that earplugs dont work for me,as still hear those darn roosters.They start from 10pm,its like they dont want one to sleep.If i had a neighbour like that at home we can make a complaint to the police to get them to shut it up.Dogs too are just everywhere,very bad.Dont they know there is rabies here!

I hear you. But I guess, there's nothing you can do about those roosters. You can't go to the police and complain (well you can, but I think this will not be taken seriously) since roosters are very typical here in the Philippines.

Best thing you can do practically, if earmuffs or earplugs don't work, is to get used to it. Your body will soon get used to it and hearing those won't make you upset anymore.

Or try a bit expensive workaround, live on an apartment or condo, and choose the upper rooms. All the best for your "rooster adventures".
