Big metropolitan areas have noise pollution. Some more than others. There are also birds in these big cities. We hear them, but don't think much about it.

Lately though, it seems as if I hear them more and their calls and songs are clearer somehow.

Do you think the lack of noise pollution helps helps their sound carry in a clearer way since human made noise has subsided greatly?

Any sound will carry farther and be heard better if there are no audible interference's getting in the way. I'm thinking an end of the world scenario where all you hear are birds in a city with their songs and chirps echoing off the vacant buildings.

It's a shame in a way that businesses and such are opening back up. The bird songs are going to get a bit drowned out again. I'm sure they were relieved for a few weeks that they didn't have to compete with all that noise in order to be heard.

I saw this series when the pandemic shut down started. Sort of a prophetic take on the unknown we were embarking on. But an interesting study of how the world would adapt to our dominating presence. Without us around, nature would take over and balance out the ecosystem. Our relics would be absorbed relatively quickly by the biodiversity of the planet.

And now I'm picturing "I Am Legend".

I don't think it's going to come to that with this pandemic, especially with talk of the President elect ordering another shut down because of the recent rise in cases everywhere.

I think birdsong is one of the easiest ways to connect people to nature. It's such a shame that noise pollution makes it difficult to appreciate these beautiful songs that the birds are singing.

I agree. The birds might be feeling more at ease now with the minimal movement in the cities. Noise pollution has decreased more than ever, which may have also attracted more birds into the area.

It's no doubt that too much noise pollution will drive the birds away. They probably won't even bother to settle near crowded places. That's why you'll only be able to hear birds if you're living in a more secluded neighborhood.
