For quite meditation types, perhaps, but mindfulness meditation, for example, doesn't require stripping away nuisance, but acknowledging it while keeping a mindful state instead.
Yes, but I suppose there shoudln't bee too many things happening in order to acknolege them, preferebly only the things in you mind.
I've been trying somithing similar, but more active - beach walks in the in the early eavning. there are still people there but not too many. my goal was to acknoledge everything and enjoy the moment. i was not quite successfull though, it was still too much for me to acheive tranquility :)
