Actually, I have been to many noisy places. The city I live in, Baku, is a noisy city. It's not that densely populated, but I think maybe it's because I don't tolerate any noise. I just like tranquility. However, I'm not going to talk about the whole city. I'm just going to talk about a specific place in the city. It's called "28 May" metro station in Baku. There's a particular spot at the exit where taxi drivers wait for their clients. There are so many of them, and each one calls out different destinations. They are always there, constantly shouting and giving information, announcing their destination and the price, of course, because they want clients to be aware of these details or they'll lose customers and won't make money. I used to go there to get home, so I had to pass through that area every time. And it's not just the taxi drivers, there are also other people, mostly students or workers going home after school or work. This adds to the noise level. There was always noise, but one time, I remember there was a football match of the Karabakh team, the Azerbaijani national team. The stadium where they played was close to the "28 May" metro station. That's why there were so many people going home that day. It was incredibly noisy. Thankfully, I moved and don't have to take taxis from that area anymore. I take them from a different place now.
