More audio spectrum for AC units and the screeching of garbage truck loading mechanisms. I would not expect too much difference.
- gambiting 9y agoI actually noticed a staggering difference between American and European cities - American cities were so much quieter than what I am used to, because cars and trucks there are usually petrol(gas) powered - and don't have rumbly diesel engines. A garbage truck over here in UK is extremely loud in the morning because all you can hear is the rumbling of the huge diesel going POM POM POM POM POM like a tractor - in America I noticed that while there were some diesel vehicles, they were very rare, and the trucks were just quiet without their usual(for me) diesel rattle.
