    There’s a sound-absorbing asphalt that’s made with recycled rubber powder.

    Innovation turns into a road in Sardinia: sound-absorbing asphalt made with rubber recycled from End-of-Life Tyres is on its way. - Ecopneus

    Germany has also been using a porous asphalt mixture dubbed “quiet asphalt” to reduce road noise.

    Knowledgeableworldd on Instagram: "Germany is pioneering the use of "quiet asphalt" to improve urban life by tackling traffic noise. This innovative road surface features a porous composition that absorbs the sound waves generated by tires, unlike conventional asphalt which reflects them. The result is a substantial reduction in ambient noise, particularly beneficial for residents in densely populated areas. By lowering noise pollution, this technology not only creates a more peaceful environment but also helps alleviate stress-related health issues, demonstrating a commitment to integrating citizen well-being with efficient infrastructure."
