@davidzipper I noticed that as well in Bergen. I'm from 🇳🇱, last year I went on a congress+holiday in 🇺🇲 and an American coworker warned me the USA is loud, and boy was he right. Off course all the cars (love the trucks with jay brakes descending into town 3am, even though forbidden), you can hear trains from 5mi away, but even without traffic it's loud. People, aircon & vents, construction sites, insects, everything seems to be louder in the US.
