Can we not just get rid of the traffic instead?
- And what, move everything online and plug ourselves into the matrix?
  Bikes, trains, busses, scooters, pedestrians, ... are all traffic.
  So if you want to move around the world, you will need traffic.
  
  Bikes, trains, busses, scooters, pedestrians, ... are all traffic.
  Two of those are mass transit and the rest don't make very much noise.

I just watched this earlier today, interesting concept. Now I wonder about the other commercially available hemholtz resonators that he mentioned.
- Did a quick search, here's somebody selling a block that seems to have a similar function: https://www.soundseal.com/soundcell
  
  In that case, someone should work on my idea instead: drones that use an array of microphones to pinpoint where a car horn comes from, and launches rotten eggs at it.

This is fascinating, I will look more into it.
