The industrial and technological development of urban
society is producing an increasing number of devices with higher and higher
noise outputs.
- Transportation
In
New York City noise sources are multiplying rapidly, we assist to a constant
increase of transport gears such as trucks, buses cars, aircraft, motorcycles….
Garbage trucks and early hour Jet flights produce noise that signals the
beginning of each day. The bad temper of the taxi drivers is legendary. Noise produced
from trains trucks is permanent without forgetting the siren of New York Fire
Department vehicles and ambulances. By personal experience my first two weeks
in my apartment next to Jerome avenue was such a hell, I could not sleep
because of the continual noise that the 4 train produce every single two minutes.
- People behavior
New
York has one of the most active population in the world, making it blurring 24
hours/24. Neighbors’ loud music or television, talking and moving or dragging
of furniture, children playing, people shouting on the streets. Sometimes noise
that can disturb more is teenagers yelling and running on trains and buses
going home from school.
- Infrastructures
With
the commercial and industrial development, constructions projects are not quiet.
Construction companies noise has grown up. Buildings’ construction became one
of the noisiest in New York. Employees yelling at the top of the building, use
of equipment does not make less noise.
