    As a morning person, I don’t want more people waking up early, it’s my peaceful time and I want to keep it that way.

    I wish night owls respected my sleep time during holidays instead of making explosions at night cause of reasons (fireworks).

      If only you knew the joy of walking around the city at night. Not a damn soul. (Unless it’s the weekend ofc, then the streets are full and everyone is smashed)

      Oh no, you have to be inconvenienced on three holidays a year! Night owls have to drag themselves out of bed every day because some dickheads decided that every job has to start at 8 AM.

        Right? This person is so fucking entitled. How dare people enjoy a few nights a year!

          Synthesis: everyone should have a well constructed residence with ample sound dampening where late night fireworks and early morning traffic noise wouldn’t be a problem. Capitalist real estate developers minimizing their costs and maximizing their profits have us fighting each other when they’re the real problem.

          e; I was actually thinking microphones would pick up and retransmit sounds after running it through some reverb and flanging to get a cozy underwater effect, but damping external sounds makes a lot more sense

            Dampening means making something damp (wet). The word you’re probably looking for is “damping.”

              Ah, you’re totally right,thank you, I’d been using those interchangeably without thinking about it much

            Drag doesn’t think we need to build better insulation in order to stop traffic noise. All we need to do is ban explosion powered cars. However, we should install better insulation anyway to save electricity and reduce carbon use even further.

              Unfortunately most noise from cars at speeds above 30km/h is due to tires hitting the road surface, not engines.

                  That doesn’t stop anyone in the states

                That’s more bearable than the fuckers with loud exhaust.

              All of this can be true

              That only helps quiet down cars below 30 km/h. Above that speed, most noise is either rolling noise or wind noise.

        Drag suggests solving the problem by improving the train lines. Electric trains are quieter than cars. If everyone takes the train to work, there will be less car noise.

      Drag read that burning heavy metals in the atmosphere is bad for public health and wildlife. Drag is ashamed drag didn’t realise it from common sense and instead had to have it explained to drag. Drag is now enlightened that fireworks are bad.

      Let’s do drone shows instead.
