If you ever wondered where the loudest and quietest places in America are, the National Park Service has made it crystal clear with their new “noise map.” Unveiled at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in sunny California, this map is based on a whopping 1.5 million hours of sound monitoring.
Drumroll, please! New York City takes the crown as the loudest city in the nation—surprise, surprise! On the flip side, Dinosaur National Monument in Colorado is the ultimate serene getaway, clocking in as the country’s quietest spot. (Let’s keep it down, folks!) The National Park Service is using this nifty map to study how sound levels affect wildlife. Interestingly, the East coast tends to be noisier than the West, even in areas void of human presence, thanks to the delightful sounds of rushing rivers and swaying plants nearby.
