Cars aren't nearly as loud as sirens and garbage trucks. Whenever I stay in a dense city those tend to keep me up at night.

- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Cars aren't nearly as loud as sirens and garbage trucks Guess what forces emergency vehicles to fire their sirens, or garbage trucks to linger.
- lazide 2y agobwahaha this is so ridiculous.
- JumpCrisscross 2y agoYou’re really claiming that a congested street isn’t meaningfully more noisy than an uncongested one, including in terms of frequency and duration of horns and sirens?
- lazide 2y agoMore noisy? Of course. But even in nice places like Chelsea - at 2am when there are no cars or congestion at all - the cops/ambulances and garbage trucks have no problem being incredibly noisy.
- SchemaLoad 2y agoWithout cars, emergency vehicles could have their sirens at 10% of the volume. Garbage trucks and busses are slowly being replaced by electric versions which are much quieter.
- nradov 2y agoElectric garbage trucks aren't much quieter. I've heard them. Most of the noise comes from the machinery and the reverse beeping, not the engines.
