Will electric cars solve noise pollution?

CrowdScience presenter Alex Lathbridge tackles chaotic Mumbai traffic in an effort to understand the real sources of noise pollution.

Noise pollution from vehicles in the public space has a huge impact on human health. But as the world switches to quieter electric-powered means of transport there’s a debate about whether we will actually see any noticeable improvement to our quality of life. 

Discovering more than just engineering solutions to the problem, CrowdScience visits one of the world’s loudest cities, Mumbai in India. It is a place where noise has become a way of life. But is that all about to change?
