The sim I live in is fairly quiet but today there have been loads of people coming and going on the land behind my place. True, it's up for auction, but nearly all the people were free account newbies who'd joined in the last day or two.

Do the SL conspiracy theorists have any explanations?

My cat figured out how to work my computer and has taken a liking to SL, as evidenced by the 8,492 alts she has created in the last three days. She's into RP, so if all the avs are named things like BigDogg Morales and Woofmeister Dawg, that would be her.

You see a similar phenomenon in RL as well, that quiet shuttered house in the Low key neighborhood that always seems to have a steady stream of Visitors who Never stay longer than an hour, and the Traffic usually Increases on the days Government Cheques go out.

Maybe it's the same in SL? How is the Traffic on Stipend day? :p

Angel.

Well, I tested the "noise that annoys cats", and it did in fact annoy my cat. And me. And my neighbors. And the people on the other side of town... :D
