A place that I visited that was really noisy is Times Square which is located in New York City one of the biggest cities in the world and in that one of the biggest cities in the world Times Square is the most popular spot to go. So I visited it during last April I had actually gone for a student exchange to the United States of America. So we were on a field trip to New York City. There we visited Times Square. It was around 10 am or 11 am. It was really noisy. Because of the huge amount of tourists there, it was completely packed. People were, some people were running, some people were screaming, people were taking photos all around and there was this paparazzi glittering up some people and besides that There were also some celebrities, there was actually a concert going on there at that time. So, there was this paparazzi, there was this boys band, along with that there was a Mexican singer and with him he had an entire film crew and with the crew they were planning to do a movie shoot there. I’m not really sure which movie they were planning to film. And even like besides that, there were a lot of street vendors and the entire Times Square district was made like, you could say it was in a dome structure. So as the buildings rose up really high, all the sound just compressed into one spot. And because of that it felt really noisy and especially because of those street vendors, the paparazzi and the concert or the movie filming going on. And besides that, as per the name says, Times Square. Okay, it is a literal intersection where a lot of cars go. So there were a lot of cars, buses and they were just honking again and again. And those honks were making this sound even worse and besides that there was also a police station nearby. And there was constant sound of police cars and police vehicles. So that really made it really noisy.
