Reasonably you will lose the discrimination of the "artillery" if you live in a generally loud area - it is not a matter of scalar comparison but of modalities.

Reasonably you will lose the discrimination of the "artillery" if you live in a generally loud area - it is not a matter of scalar comparison but of modalities. Place a gasoline vehicle in a parking space and you will hear random bangs from here and there. Bring it to a quiet place, and you will be startled (or worse).
It will probably also depend on the make.
- tpm 2y agoI still don't understand what do you mean. Can you provide an audio/video example?
- mdp2021 2y agoVery unfortunately, yes, I could ;) (...not right now though.) But look, if you are trying to understand which noise I was referring to: stop some gasoline cars, from euro-5 on, after the engine has been on for a good number of miles, and after a few minutes you will hear like a "loud bang on metal" (very distinct from the usual crackles from the cooling metal), like a coiled spring loudly released, then after more minutes another one... Even after an hour, or more, it will randomly go on... Silent for a long time, then "bang".
- tpm 2y agoI've got an Euro-5 gasoline car and never noticed anything like that, also when driving other/newer cars, and my office window is to a small parking lot, and there also isn't anything like that happening (I am very sensitive to noises). So I think this must me something specific to a car model.
- rightbyte 2y agoNever heard. What model? That is not a general thing.
