> almost eerie how you get off the train at Cetraal station and you are greeted by a city that is nearly silent This was exactly my experience. Blew my mind. I walked down a street that was being repaved, so there were construction vehicles actively tearing up the road surface, and it was still quieter than an average block on a normal day in New York City. I think the lack of heavy HVAC equipment on every building helps too. Living in a mild climate has a lot of perks.
