Paris is three decibels quieter than it was 10 years ago, thanks to an effective noise pollution campaign. But traffic noise still forces birds to sing at a higher pitch.

    Last time I was there it was crazy and I can only imagine now with delivery apps.

    The rise of e bikes helps.

    I wonder to what extent birds are impacted by heat pumps. They’re a low hum - quieter than they used to be though.

      Yeah I guess it helps. It’s crazy that we are forced to endure the noise of those thing without having a say. Can’t wait for noise radar or such.
