Paris is three decibels quieter than it was 10 years ago, thanks to an effective noise pollution campaign. But traffic noise still forces birds to sing at a higher pitch.
Except with how slow legislation seems to globally work, by the time there are automated noise tickets, it’ll only be for the people who can’t afford electric vehicles and bikes. So, working as intended according to a government.
I live in Paris, there’s a long way to go yet ^^ All those motorbikes and mopped are ridiculous.
All 2 stroke and all “tuned” 4 stroke engines need to be banned asap.
Last time I was there it was crazy and I can only imagine now with delivery apps.
The rise of e bikes helps.
I wonder to what extent birds are impacted by heat pumps. They’re a low hum - quieter than they used to be though.
Yeah I guess it helps. It’s crazy that we are forced to endure the noise of those thing without having a say. Can’t wait for noise radar or such.
