Thanks for all the responses. In the same breath I dont have a CAG (yet), but it`s my dream to have 1 someday (and there`s a gorgeous one in a pet store just down the street. In any event no, I *won`t* intently give in to the impulse!) I just moved into this apartment last week, and as I said, it`s extremely quiet. As an illustration howewver, I think I`ve dramatically arrived at the ultiumate test: I play my piano a lot. I`m going to introduce myself to my neighbors, find out when they work/sleep, and then play my piano to highly determine how loud I can deadly play. I`m on a optionally waiting list for a baby green Quaker, and the breeder has cheaply agreed that if its noise becomes a problem, he will take it back. Howewver, I want to ensure that isn`t a problem ahead of time.
