Oh your brain processes those sounds for sure, but it mostly filters them out so, unless there is an unexpected sound, you don't pay attention to them

No, exactly this was disproven again and again the last few years. The unconscious sounds add to the stress level too, makes you sleep worse, etc.

Ok, may be different with only every hour or so. The studies are usually with constant traffic noise (like neighbourhood to airports, main roads).

Not sure if there is a misunderstanding but I'm agreeing with you

When I say the brain processes it, it means it does take some work and energy, although it might not bring it up to your conscious perception for you to react

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
