Right? This person is so fucking entitled. How dare people enjoy a few nights a year!

Synthesis: everyone should have a well constructed residence with ample sound damp~~en~~ing 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

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

[-] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

That edit deserves extra kudos

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.

[-] shroomato@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Unfortunately most noise from cars at speeds above 30km/h is due to tires hitting the road surface, not engines.

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 3 points 3 days ago

That's why we also need speed limits of 30km/h in residential and commercial areas.

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

That doesn't stop anyone in the states

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 3 points 3 days ago

It stops people in the Netherlands, because the Netherlands narrowed their streets and installed traffic calming. We shouldn't be thinking of speed limits as a sign and a law. We should be thinking of speed limits as a psychological result of our infrastructure's design.

Sounds smart...exactly why it can't happen here.

[-] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 2 days ago

why would we want a lower speed limit than school parking lots have?

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 days ago

Because the speed limits in school parking lots are too high.

[-] capital@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

That’s more bearable than the fuckers with loud exhaust.

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

All of this can be true

[-] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

That only helps quiet down cars below 30 km/h. Above that speed, most noise is either rolling noise or wind noise.
