Ad Olbia, nella principale arteria di collegamento della città, realizzati oltre 8.000 mq di strada con l’impiego di asfalto modificato con polverino di gomma riciclata dai Pneumatici Fuori Uso (PFU): un asfalto dalla durata maggiore, più resistente a fessurazioni e buche e silenzioso.
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."

Fantatic Frame Soundproof Window Inserts substantially reduce sound and heat transfer to make buildings quieter and more cool. Custom built to outperform.
How come there isn’t already an alarm app that knows that you are already awake – due to the phone moving that morning? A few people have been after this for a while.
Android alarm clock that notices when I'm already awake?
I'm getting a Fitbit Flex soon and am planning to use its silent alarm feature so my partner can keep snoozing undisturbed while I rise and shine. I'd still like to have a noisy alarm as a backup...
Just use this – Self Evident is a free, convenient and effective way for people across England & Wales to engage with the police. With 28,000 registered users already, the app is used every day to report crime and capture digital evidence.
DecibelX looks good for measuring loudness but it would need integration with camera and messenger to send to the police. Like the idea though – noise is antisocial pollution
"Decibel X" is one of very few noise meter apps on the market that has highly reliable, pre-calibrated measurements and supports dBA, dBC. It turns your iOS device into a professional sound level meter, precisely measures the sound pressure level (SPL) all around you. This extremely useful and be... Read more
Active noise control (ANC) system based on adaptive algorithm is an effective technique for acoustic noise reduction. FxLMS is a fairly robust algorithm but it gives inferior performance when secondary path is time varying, as a result, online secondary path modeling has been used. A variable step-s... Read more
Noise barriers can also be an effective way to curb noise pollution, especially on major roads.
There’s a sound-absorbing asphalt that’s made with recycled rubber powder.

Take a look at this company retexturing concrete roads in the UK to reduce road noise.
Denmark is trying out elastic road surfaces that can reduce noise pollution.
Noise-cancelling curtains can be effective as well.
Wow! The noise-cancelling inserts are really effective.
I found another one.

LOL!! or just use a chin strap!
Already exists!
The Reddit crowd say this is what the dismiss button is for. Though I don’t use real world or digital alarms as I have kids!
