This is something you don't even realize until you live somewhere that isn't suburban and it needs to be talked about a lot more as a public health problem.

Great Read!

It is amazing how quiet modern cars are on the inside compared to the outside. We could have made a massive difference to this by requiring car companies to match the in-car noise level to the volume of noise they emitted outside the cabin. I bet then they would have put some of the effort that they put into reducing the noise for their customers into reducing the noise for everyone else.

Thankfully electric vehicles should help with this to some extent too.
