Most car noise comes from the wheels, at speed, on highways.


Are most pedestrian and cyclist deaths on the highways?

I would have though it would be in the city, if only for the fact that I practically never see pedestrians on country roads where I live. There can be cyclists, though.

In the city, though, most car noise is clearly the engine. Source: traffic outside my window. I clearly hear the engine noise or the exhaust if it's a scooter or motorcycle.


Honestly I regret replying to this obtuse argument
