Yeh I was gunna say something similar. Yes China has some street level noise but the traffic noise is significantly reduced. I stayed in a hotel on xinzha rd in shanghai amd despite it being next to a raised highway (南北高架路on a Saturday morning all I could hear was the bird call from the park across the street
Shanghai’s pretty quiet. They banned car horns and there are so many electric cars and busses you don’t really get engine noise either.
SEA or India makes China feel tranquil imo.

I had no idea that cities could ban car horns, that’s amazing. Some busy cities are completely intolerable due to overuse of honking.
No idea how they enforce it but it works.
