The lack of noise during covid confirms this...evenings were super quiet. It was amazing. Now if only we can shut the city's power off a night so we can see the starts again.

also, when there's a snowstorm, it gets so quiet... I love it. although I'm sure its because of the lack of cars on the road AND snow piling up that absorbs sound instead of bouncing it around everywhere

You might feel differently in the middle of winter.
