Is anyone actively trying to reduce the noise in our city? Any advocacy groups?

Sirens DO NOT need to be this loud and frequent, there is zero evidence that the more humane sirens used in Europe would be less effective in NYC. The idea that the deafening sirens we use are more effective is a myth that the NYPD/FDNY has concocted for some reason.

Construction also doesn’t need to be so constant and chaotic all the time. There are other beautiful, highly populated cities in the world (don’t shoot the messenger) that manage to maintain a level of noise that causes less damage, how?

The kind of noise we have in the city is literally a health emergency, why do we accept this as an unfixable feature? How do we have $$$ sauna party health clubs popping up left and right, goop kitchen and erewhon are out here, clearly there’s an appetite to not die prematurely from cortisol maxxing yet no one seems to want to do anything about this unmatched noise pollution?

Genuinely curious and would love to get involved if there’s advocacy out there that I’m just not seeing.
