Does Honolulu have a lot of beeping? -

I would like to buy an apartment on Bishop Street on Honolulu. I do like the beeping noise but at night it s nice when its silent but still the occasional honk or so. I hear Bishop Street is very popular. So is there a lot of beeping and traffic on that particular street? If not, what streets do have that type of thing?

People don t generally honk their horns here. However, in Downtown, where Bishop St is, there are lots of garbage and delivery trucks that have back-up beepers. These are usually in the early morning hours, 5-6 AM. There s also a hospital, fire and police departments fairly close by so you may get lots of sirens throughout the day.Look at Harbor Court (Queen and Bethel), Harbor Square (Queen and Richards) or Executive Center (Bishop and Hotel). There are other apartment buildings in Downtown, but these are the ones I m familiar with.

It is very unusual to hear a horn honked in Hawaii. I would get a place no lower than the 6th floor. 10th floor or higher would be better.I would look at the condos at Harbor Square if you want to live in that area. The ones with an ocean view would cut down on the noise in addition to being more enjoyable. The Bus is also convenient, there are at least 10 bus lines that run through downtown. I would move a mile or so away, hen catch the bus with a monthly pass, if you need to be downtown every day.
