Exploring the Loudest and Quietest Spots in the U.S.
Curious about the loudest and quietest spots in the U.S.? Well, you’re in for a treat! A recent “noise map” released by the National Park Service reveals some fascinating insights into sound levels across the country. This map, unveiled at the annual American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in California, is based on an impressive 1.5 million hours of sound monitoring to forecast average noise on a typical summer day.
The Loudest and Quietest Locations
No surprise here: New York City takes the title for the loudest spot, while Dinosaur National Monument in Colorado claims the title for the quietest (so shhhh!). The National Park Service aims to understand how sound levels influence wildlife, and interestingly, even in the absence of people, the East tends to be noisier than the West. This is largely due to the sounds of rushing rivers and swaying plants nearby.
