Here's some anecdotal evidence from my experience: I've lived close to a loud 4 lane road for 4 years. My windows were bad too. When trucks drove over a bump in the road, I sometimes was able to notice the vibrations. Given this radical experience and all the pain caused by sleep-deprevation and having to move away finally, I second the article's message whole-heartedly (lol). Though I was luckily to be able to move, I've stayed sensitive to noise. It's a major stressor in my life and I take it seriously. In fact, I think that particularly in cities, the German aurhorities should implement tighter rules when it comes to noise pollution, e.g.: - tone down ambulance's horns or fund technical approaches that work without the high pitch sound - stop building airports near neighborhoods and restrict air traffic heavily - enforce stricter rules when honking for stupid reasons - have cars comply to noise maximums
