haha, NYC has entered the chat.
Cars aren't loud, car SPEAKERS are loud.
The subway. Ambulances. Construction. Garbage truck compactors. Guys trying to get you into their restaurants. Panhandlers. Buskers. Customers haggling with street vendors. Hassidim on cellphones negotiating deals. Mothers on cellphones giving relationship advice. Laughing teenagers. Drunken couples having fights. Cops chit chatting with each other, or arresting people.
People have recorded the sounds of NYC and during the pandemic someone posted this to YouTube for nostalgia.
I've traveled to 35+ cities and they're all quiet compared with New York.

Essentially, these noises are put on for show. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/19/us/sirens-noise-ambulances-fire-department-police.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/19/us/sirens-noise-ambulance...
