I don't have a formal project nor start up for it, but many years and many environments have overwhelmingly been influenced by one factor: Noisy neighbors. I see the solution at a combination of factors: - Noise ordinances and advocacy for same. - Understanding that we are not "all the same", and that some people have a legitimate need for and function much better in a quiet environment. - Communities established with "noise control / quiet" as a principal item in their charter, and with the boundary and means to enforce it. - Better building materials and standards. Construction that spends that 10% or whatever extra to build in effective noise suppression. Architectural plans also focused on this. - Continuing work on effective, after-the-fact noise suppression. Although personally I don't want to be perpetually confined to such a "bubble", even if such becomes possible. I feel much healthier as a part of the "natural world", but a world not full of car stereos, straight pipes, non-stop blaring TV's, nor 20 coworkers ongoing conversations and phone calls. P.S. Advocacy and education, so that people don't get "worn down" by noisy environments before they learn and find their way to better. That would include assisting one's escape before the negative feedback loop traps one, economically.
