I did specifically think of birds as a pretty obvious exception. Even things like waves crashing, volcanoes bubbling, cafe chatter would have to be region specific, in case that matches the background. Limiting ourselves to abstract sounds is an interesting limitation.
Had no idea that there needed to be modulation based on speed, but that totally makes sense, matches what I hear. Thanks for sharing!
- thaumasiotes 5y agoCars making their normal combustion engine noises are already a serious source of noise pollution. The solution can't be to make noise pollution required by law. That's one of the stupidest ideas in the world. Stop running cars in areas that are easily accessible to pedestrians. There are already plenty of streets pedestrians have to use an overpass or underpass for. It's even safer and doesn't ruin the auditory environment.

It's even safer and doesn't ruin the auditory environment. I agree with separating cars and pedestrians better, but the solution can't be to make life harder for the pedestrians. Cities I've visited where you have to use an overpass to cross every road are awful to walk around.
