Train in image good
Wide road in image bad
Also good (hear me out): tree
For all I know those newfangled Chinese trains are almost silent, but from my experience having trains run right outside of your window isn’t that great.
Mmmmm… having lived by both there are trade offs… most cars don’t rattle my windows. Then again I dunno how quiet these trains are compared to US freight or commuter trains.
I’ve lived in a highway-facing apartment. If they build it right, the walls and windows are insulated well enough that the sound isn’t an issue.
Here in Russia they occasionally build those noise barrier wall things on the sides of busy roads if there are houses close enough.
“If”
Most apartment builders can’t be bothered to insulate well enough to hide the sound of your upstairs neighbor.
Bus in image alright
Very dialectical, comrade!
China?
