2014.02.02 Is this the city with the loudest car horns? 1. Each city has its own distinctive soundscape, from birds and radios to trains and ambulances. For Delhi residents the backdrop of rush-hour traffic is causing noise pollution so serious that experts are warning of serious health consequences. 2. I am lucky to live on a cul-de-sac in New Delhi. My day begins with green parakeets squawking as they play in the trees. A temple bell chimes. A fruit seller rolls his pushcart past, shouting: Custard apples, guavas, papaya! 3. I miss these sounds when I wake up in London, where it often feels as quiet as a morgue. But for most Delhi residents, these pleasant sounds are drowned out each day by the traffic roaring past their homes. bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-25944792
