    Other folks will probably reply with “Cities aren’t loud, cars are loud” but sirens and helicopters will still be there even if there aren’t cars.

    Plus if the city is quiet suddenly I’m all anxious because I don’t want to bother anyone with my noise. Social anxiety and cities do not mix.

      How many of those sirens are responding to a car related accident?I would assume a signifcant amount. They may also be able to use their sirens less if streets were less congetsed. I’m also much more forgiving hearing a siren responding to an emergency than hearing a modfiied honda fart all the way to McDonalds.

      Not doing anything about car noise pollution just because sirens and helicopters still exist is a poor solution.

        I’m just saying that even if there weren’t any cars it would still be too loud for me to feel comfortable.

        Then again if it’s too quiet I still wouldn’t feel comfortable.

        tl;dr I don’t like cities. Or suburbs. Or people, really.
