We have our senegal as well, noise don't bother him, except if were on the porch in the early am 7-9 and the village street sweeper goes by or a loud mufflered car/truck. other than that he don't mind the noise, heck we even had a birthday party at the house, we ourselves have 2 boys a 4 n 9 yr old, and with the arrguing and fighting, screaming, running. if it gets way too noisy he'll just join in with screeching and screaming at them or with them idk, but either way nada really bothers him. We can even bring the vacuum over near his cage with the hose attachment and suck up the seeds or whatever food he throws out, he don't mind it, he'll just eye pin it while the cleaning is going on.
