Do we know if the gorillas behave differently in the wild when they have territory/food/mates to protect?

Possibly the low frequencies of the sound resonate on the wall behind you at a low enough level that you don't consciously "hear" them but your body/brain does and this allows you to locate the sound? Another possibility would be that your "higher" brain is overriding your "lower" brain and it has learned that sound comes through windows?

For the conversational pattern, question lacking context?

my response to the last thing will come off as a personal rant, but it's subjectively similar to some of my experience with my parents/adults, and I have filed it as evidence of "people who seem to only have 1 piece of memory at a time". shrug

You've written quite a bit about using air purifiers for cleaning particulates out of indoor air. What about the MERV filters in the HVAC systems? Seems like they would also be helpful for improving indoor air quality, especially the MERV 12 or MERV 13 ones. But you haven't said anything much about them. Are they dramatically worse than the air purifiers in cleaning particulates out of the air?
