Cars are far louder than most of the things on the list, only gunshots, airplanes and construction can even remotely exceed the level of noise pollution produced by a busy roadway.

It also turns out that a lot of the construction is due to cars in one way or another:

  • new parking garage to store more cars
  • fix roads destroyed by cars
  • new buildings because others had to be removed to make space for cars

If you remove the cars and build with density in mind, a lot of that goes away.
