K later corrects himself, saying that the noise was from some loud toursts or
campers (I forget).  But he says he's just going to leave his initial comment
as is, because he's not interested in being bothered with fixing it.  It's a
bit strange, suggesting that the whole thing is comming out of K as if it were
a linear stream, which would be impossible seeing that he early on points the
reader to notes near the end.  Its production would have to have been
recursive.
