I happened to be taking notes on noise pollution for the last hour (15:30-16:30), and there were:
* 6 incidents of loud beeping trucks
* 6 incidents of loud car honking (all seemed to be automatic honks, like when someone gets in or out of their car, most right outside my windows)
All of that totally gratuitous added noise pollution. In addition to all the other, more necessary, noise.
This is a Sunday afternoon, in a very expensive residential neighborhood, in a college town.
You wouldn't believe what a typical weekday is like. I could start to tell you, and you'd be incredulous, then horrified, and then I'd have more to tell you, about how it's 10x worse than that. (Yes, I've been working with city officials, and will also move when I can.)
