I vehemently disagree. The major source of noise in my area is people. Not saying my experience extends to every city, but even blaming traffic is a naive generalization.
- pkulak 3y agoA “naive generalization”? Use words because they are the right words, not because they make you sound smart. “Vehemently” disagree with something important. I am not worth a word that strong! I’ve lived around cars every one of my 42 years. They are loud. It’s not a generalization or naive. Side streets are quiet, main roads are loud. I’ve also walked dozens of cities in, again, 42 years. It consistently holds up.

The literature has many studies finding vehicle noise as the top effect: NYC: https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12940-015-0006-y https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12940-...
