Synthesis: everyone should have a well constructed residence with ample sound dampening where late night fireworks and early morning traffic noise wouldn’t be a problem. Capitalist real estate developers minimizing their costs and maximizing their profits have us fighting each other when they’re the real problem.
e; I was actually thinking microphones would pick up and retransmit sounds after running it through some reverb and flanging to get a cozy underwater effect, but damping external sounds makes a lot more sense
Drag doesn’t think we need to build better insulation in order to stop traffic noise. All we need to do is ban explosion powered cars. However, we should install better insulation anyway to save electricity and reduce carbon use even further.
Right? This person is so fucking entitled. How dare people enjoy a few nights a year!

Dampening means making something damp (wet). The word you’re probably looking for is “damping.”
Ah, you’re totally right,thank you, I’d been using those interchangeably without thinking about it much
That edit deserves extra kudos

Unfortunately most noise from cars at speeds above 30km/h is due to tires hitting the road surface, not engines.
That’s why we also need speed limits of 30km/h in residential and commercial areas.
That doesn’t stop anyone in the states
That’s more bearable than the fuckers with loud exhaust.
All of this can be true
That only helps quiet down cars below 30 km/h. Above that speed, most noise is either rolling noise or wind noise.
