    I feel like cars make enough noise even without honking. I am, however, heavily brainwashed by Not Just Bikes. Cities aren’t loud, cars are loud.

      Cities are loud even without cars. You still have the trains, busses, and all.

      The people screaming at each other.

      Doors slamming, the occasional gun shots and more shouting.

      The idiot who thinks his shitty music is universally appreciated.

      The dumbass whose definition of “inside voice” is more generally “angry drill sergeant”.

        If you’re in the centre of my city, it really is quite lovely on a summer day. Masses of people, but their sound is calm and not that noisy.

        Granted, it’s not a huge city on the scale of NYC, but it would still be terribly noisy if 10% of those people had been in cars.

      One car is not that loud, but a bunch of cars together is very loud. Also, planes are VERY loud. Growing up near air traffic and also living right next to a international airport.

      To put it short, Internal Combustion Engines are loud

        Nah dude cars are loud. Sitting at a roadside patio is shitty even if it’s just a few cars a minute.
