Some cities are noisy and some are quiet because of the things that make noise. A city with lots of traffic, people talking, and machines working is loud. A city with fewer cars, more trees, and less activity feels quieter. Imagine a city like a big room, if you have a lot of people shouting in it, it's very noisy. But if only one person whispers, the whole room stays quiet.
Examples
- In a busy city like Tokyo, there are a lot of cars going by all day, that’s why it sounds so loud!
- A quiet town in the countryside has fewer people and fewer machines, so it feels calm.
- Trees near a road help absorb some of the noise, making the city feel less noisy.
