>This 100%, I measured the volume in my neighborhood in Central Tokyo 5 mins from the nearest station (it’s one of the more popular spots in the city) and it clocks in at 30dB or less. Compared to Manhattan where it’s deafeningly loud all the time.
Shibuya?
- ghaff 5y agoShibuya is somewhat exceptional in Tokyo whether or not it's unique. In Manhattan it's more like the constant blaring of horns and near-constant sirens of various types.
