New York rolling out noise law, listening tech for souped-up speedsters

all the debate in sibling threads makes me want to put up some mics and some classification system to try and determine what the "answer" is in different cities and areas.

There's definitely noises everywhere, but I recently saw a clip of Paris doing a carfree zone thing and it was _sooooo_ quiet, it makes me think that basically cars are the thing that do most of the damage.

I can confirm first-hand that it's the main noise pollution source there.

As I stated in a sibling thread, 3 of the 4 sources I cited come from motorized vehicles: mopeds, general ICE noise, honking (in that order).

This is better explained by NotJustBikes video "Cities aren't loud: cars are loud": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTV-wwszGw8
