If you’re looking for a quiet summer, these are some places you might want to avoid.

Road traffic in Cairo is deafening.

And while it’s recommended that road traffic noise levels be at an average of 53 decibels, be prepared.

In Islamabad, Pakistan, the sound can be as loud as 105 decibels. But that’s not the loudest.

Some Indian cities get up to 114 decibels.

To put it into perspective, that’s the equivalent of standing next to a jet plane during takeoff without ear protection.

In the US, you might want to consider noise cancelling headphones on the streets of New York City. It’s the loudest in America at 95 decibels.
