Apart from cars which are the number 1 culprit.
God fucking damn it ban gas leafblowers. If you wanna blow leaves get a quieter electric one. (But also remember that leaves are very important for ecosystems so don’t blow leaves just for the sake of blowing them).
This is a big reason why I decided I couldn't live in cities anymore. For someone who grew up in a village where it was quiet almost the entire time I feel it's especially a lot. Never mind the neurodivergence not enjoying it.
Cities aren't loud, cars are loud. Advocate to get cars banned from cities!
All the more reason to ban cars from cities. It shouldn't be painful to live in the city and we shouldn't be forcing people out of it, which in turn causes rural areas to become populated and noisy.
It's what I miss most about growing up rural. The quiet and the peace, but even the population near my old family home has exploded. Can't even see the stars anymore
