    Swedish city tries to reduce pollution and noise

    How does this help reducing noise? I think with modern cars, tires generate notably more noise than the engine unless the speed is below 30 km/h. I hear no difference between a petrol car and electric when they’re driving past me at 50-60 km/h.

      Depends on the car. Unfortunately, you always have people who want their cars and motorbikes to be loud (small penis syndrome).

      That’s true, but presumably in a city, the average speed is far lower than that.

      They make make more noise while accelerating which I would presume would be something that happens often in a city center with lots of stops and starts.
