the lack of soft surfaces for sound absorption at these places kills me inside.
Great introduction to this topic 👍
Now do the same test with the SPL meter set to Leq (C weighted) not LAeq given that a significant amount of low frequency energy exists in the city.
Cities are not noisy. Transportation vehicles, mainly cars are.
So his waterfront should be dripping to conserve water too
Cars are the problem.
Amazing insights on noise pollution, we need this! 🌍
Bro crazy idea what if we restricted cars in city centres and provided better transit instead🤯🤯🤯
What are sound absorbing materials?
Super interesting video.
Closing to ice car would be one easy solution
Cities aren’t loud, cars are
how? by directing sound at one point instead of letting it spread
Because it costs too much money? Maybe that?
Very interesting vid, refreshing breath of fresh air the lack of political charged content, more like this please.
Just get rid of the cars bro
