During the lockdown in the spring of 2020, an unreal silence fell over the city. Non-essential travel was not permitted. Every day felt like a car-free Sunday. With airplanes also grounded, noise pollution in the Brussels Region and around Zaventem Airport was halved. The disappearance of the background noise changed the soundscape, and city dwellers suddenly heard birds singing again. Less noise stimulation leads to lower stress hormones and a higher quality of life.
In this street, the passing car tires make a hellish noise on the uneven cobblestones. They are also very uncomfortable for cyclists. In various places in Brussels, there is a debate between proponents and opponents of cobblestones as street pavement.
