New York City traffic noise is not nearly as bad as you may imagine.
The traffic is slow, so there is little engine noise or tire squealing starts.
Most of the cars in traffic are yellow cabs that are regulated which includes the muffler.
Upper Manhattan on the far west and far east sides is more quiet then most suburbs.
You can hear a pin drop in Riverside Park.
A gas powered lawn mower would set sound level records on those blocks.
