alt Hacker NewsBarcelona, Spain. Basically narrow streets, full of loud motorbikes, mostly single glassing in windows, trash collection happens for some reason at night, noisy culture. Still love the city though. But originally grew up in a quiet country and on the outside the city with 0 noise during day and night
Interesting. Taipei, Taiwan has a similar problem: Endless motorbikes and motorscooters. The droning background noise of two stroke engines is awful (plus air pollution!). However, it is improving quickly with the arrival of electric equivalents. Is Barcelona pushing to replace two stroke engines with electric? It will make a huge difference! Also, I wonder if electric garbage trucks could also help.
