I’m surprised by Fresno and Stockton. Presumably it’s agriculturally related? Either trains and/or lots of semis?
Damn what was Boston before The Big Dig?
Obnoxious modified mufflers and stollen catalytic converters
Stupid leafblowers. Bring back the noble rake.
Surely the standard for DataIsBeautiful has to be higher than merely a competently created bar chart?
As much as I love it, the Chicago blue line gets loud enough to drown out conversation and hurt eardrums (on the train and within a couple hundred feet of it). My friends call it the rattler.
That’s what struck me about my trip to Amsterdam. Quietest big city I’ve ever been in. Very few cars. No noise from car horns. Occasional bike bell.
Honolulu must be the mopeds
I lived in Irvine for a minute. It *was* loud.
Give me train noise over car noise any day of the week.
Here in Chicago, the biggest transport noises I hear are planes approaching and people driving around in vehicles modified to be intentionally loud.
Yeah but to be fair: Boston’s #1 ranking is 30% due to the dB level of the Green Line at the Boylston stop
I’m sorry but this is bad data. How the noise map was generated is suspect. I have been to nearly all of these cities. The list simply doesn’t make any sense.
This seems like a weird way to interpret and describe that data as a measure of which is loudest
Los Angeles has to totally incorrect. Police helicopters are constantly flying low all over the damn city.
I was in Boston during and after 9/11. The silence in midday was so eerie.
They measured when the green line was going around a curve!
Yeah it’s the ag and freight traffic combo. Tons of diesel semis, farm equipment, plus all the dust and particulates from ag fields and processing, and it kind of just sits there because the Central Valley is a big bowl with crappy air circulation.
