I don’t know. Carriages and wagons with wooden or iron-rimmed wheels rolling over cobblestones don’t seem to me like they’d be quiet.

- keiferski 8y agoI said "significantly quieter", not "quiet." Surely a carriage makes less noise than an eighteen-wheeler.
- sgift 8y agoI wouldn't bet on it. The sound of horseshoes on anything hard is really loud. Also: Which horrible place has eighteen-wheelers driving in living areas? Carriages were everywhere.
- adrianN 8y agoThere are probably a lot more cars on the road than there ever were carriages. I'd also suspect that copious amounts of horse manure on top of the cobble stones have a dampening effect.
