I live in an Indian and I avoid going out most of time and a big reason for that is the noise. Aa the article says about Dhaka, traffic is a major source of noise and it is unavoidable due to the absence of decent public transport infrastructure. But it's so much worse than that. Restaurants and even gyms play (terrible) music at volume levels which are defeaning and illegal in more reasonable places. But it seems like I am the only one who has a problem with it. It's tough not bring sensorially numb.

- jiggawatts 2y agoI have some local coworkers who’ve been “working from home” for months at a time from their various home cities in India when visiting relatives. Whenever they un-mute their microphones in a Teams meeting there is an instant cacophony. At first I was asking if they were working from a cafe table on a street corner or something, but no… invariably the answer is that they’re indoors at home!
