How many of those sirens are responding to a car related accident?I would assume a signifcant amount. They may also be able to use their sirens less if streets were less congetsed. I'm also much more forgiving hearing a siren responding to an emergency than hearing a modfiied honda fart all the way to McDonalds.

Not doing anything about car noise pollution just because sirens and helicopters still exist is a poor solution.

I’m just saying that even if there weren’t any cars it would still be too loud for me to feel comfortable.

Then again if it’s too quiet I still wouldn’t feel comfortable.

tl;dr I don’t like cities. Or suburbs. Or people, really.
