We were in Hi Jolly and someone pulled right next to us and used their construction generator till midnight. Other than that, we've heard a gentle purring in the distance some times. They are spread out pretty far. People don't usually jam together if there's room. Hi Jolly is pretty jammed in though. We don't camp there any more.
I went through in October, pretty quiet, temperature was OK, free desert camping or near free in the area where there is water an sewer. I also went near Yuma, BLM near the Colorado, I prefer that place since it is near the water, does not feel has dry as Quartz and Yuma is pretty close.
I would imagine there is a lot of Generator noise when the desert fills up, there must be a humming noise floating around all day long, people making coffee at 7 in the morning or watching TV late at night, or running all day long for AC or just running their anoying contractor genset.
I think it could be an experience to live this, but do not think I could stand this crowd for very long, I would prefer going in the desert, far from the noise.
