Re: What has happened to the youth of today?... (4.00 / 3)

NearlyNormal:

y recollection of cars from the 60's and 70's at least, is that they were much louder than they are today.

And as for planes.....

We tend to forget the absolutely mind-buggering noise of a 707 taking off....

i heard the sound of a jet airliner taking off is as loud as the whole human race chanting OM at once.

no link, sorry!

However, there are much more planes, cars, as well as roads, airstrips and landing routes today - the sum total of airplane-related noise definitely increased. (Also see the news Sven brought us the other day.)
