I live rurally, rn. A single car, a half mile away is loud enough that I can hear it while a rooster crows.
That same car is close to as loud as a gunshot from same distance--likely bc it's continuous.
I can easily hear a train thunder from 5 miles away.
If simply hearing a sound is an indication of noise then yes, but not hearing it because it's drowned out by other noise doesn't equal quiet.
