According to a survey by Preply, New York City is the second noisiest city in the world, with noise pollution levels at 68.91.
Noise pollution can lead to stress-related health effects such as high blood pressure, hearing loss, and sleep disruption, highlighting its impact on well-being.
The survey highlighted that New York hosts 13 million visitors annually, contributing significantly to its noise levels from heavy traffic and loud landmarks.
An initiative with 'quiet cameras' was enacted to tackle noise pollution in NYC, targeting vehicles making sound above 85 decibels for fines.
