“Se compran … colchones … tambores … refrigeradores … estufas … lavadoras … microondas … o algo de fierro viejo que vendan!” If you know, you know ;)
I lived in CDMX and this sound (among several others) made me resent the city. All the Mexican's I knew didn't mind it and seemed to tune it out. If you like peace and quiet, living in Mexico City is not for you.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The shouts of vendors in the street is why I avoid cities in Mexico, especially CDMX. The noise levels in Mexico are so abrasive to me.
Big parties late at night in residential areas, vendors shooting while passing by, then dogs barking at them, delivery men in noisy motorcycles, then dogs barking at them again. I guess that’s why gated communities are trending in many Mexican cities now days.

No, I'm sure the biggest value of a gated community is the added safety. You'd still get the noises you mentioned, except perhaps the street vendors if the gated area is remote or big enough. It's still a residential area with parties, dogs, and delivery motorcycles, after all.

Thanks, yes, I meant shouting. I’ve lived in both gated and non-gated. And gated neighborhoods are significantly more quiet.
