The only thing is...I only hear that if I'm awake. Maybe some people leave their windows open year round and it sounds worse?
I'd be just fine if they planted the mailboxes next to my place. Makes my life easier, and having lived near the boxes in the past in Kelowna, it's certainly nothing that degrades my quality of life.
People are afraid of change, and make proclamations of the worst case scenario before even giving anything a chance.

One, you're comparing something that existed to something that is new.
Two, that's fine if it doesn't bother you. I've lived in MF too and shared a driveway. I also live in an area where I've accepted some things that others (my wife and kids) find annoying and I don't. But to outright ignore the evidence that it could be bothersome to someone that isn't you is ignorant. You're doing the exact same thing you're accusing that lady of doing. Completely looking at one side and ignoring any possibility of it being annoying, or simply "it doesn't bother me (or some other poor comparison doesn't bother me) so it shouldn't bother anyone else".
