New Study Says New Jersey Is The Loudest State

We’re pretty loud here in Jersey.  And no, I’m not referring to how we speak.  However, that too is loud for many. New Jersey is the loudest state according to a new survey. Based on all sorts of factors. Conversely, Alaska is the quietest. I wear this title proudly as a badge of honor.  I’m not sure exactly why, but I saw a shirt once that read “New Jersey- Where The Weak Are Killed And Eaten.”  And I gotta say, this state’s not for the faint of heart.  It’s a tough place, but also a beautiful state as well. We have beaches, farms, greenery, mountains, cities….all in one state.  How cool? So, this study looked at several factors to determine the loudest states including traffic noise, the number of construction permits, the number of planes flying overhead, public transit, and the number of bars in the area.  That’s a ton of factors!  New Jersey is ranked the loudest in part because of the amount of people packed into every square mile of the relatively small state. I mean, the next loudest states are Massachusetts and then Pennsylvania. They didn’t even factor in how loud we are as people.  I mean we talk loudly, apparently with our Jersey accents, and drive aggressively, honking and beeping, while blasting our music.  As I said though, I’m kind of proud of it.  You need to have a thick skin to live in Jersey and also be able to alleviate your stress any way you can because it can be a tense state I think.  It makes you grow into a person who can handle all sorts of things and also have confidence and a peaceful mind…..if you work on it. I absolutely love our state and whether we’re the loudest or not, you can’t change my mind that we have the most.  It’s a wonderful place to live.  Well, except for how expensive it is!
