It’s hard to put a value on what lowering ambient sound levels in a city might be worth. Or overall even how many lives it could save. Or productivity and wellbeing increases due to lower stress levels. A minor noise from moving cars? How about this horrifying little marketing piece from Nissan [1] about their new “Canto” noise they are going to emit? Besides, these noise levels are calibrated to be loud enough in a bustling city at high noon. They are not dynamic based on time of day, or location, or actual ambient sound levels. So, in other words, they will be loud and obnoxious, particularly outside of the city, where ambient is almost 20dB lower. [1] - https://youtu.be/p4cjPk8mqEM https://youtu.be/p4cjPk8mqEM
