Are we surprised Florida is one of the loudest states in America?! A new survey finds that New Jersey, the Garden State tops the list of the loudest states in the country.
From heavy traffic to countless airplanes flying over crowded communities, Jersey far and away ranked as the noisiest state in the union — and that’s before the state was invaded by a wave of mysterious and noisy drones!
Researchers gave the state a noise score of 52.87. That was more than 10 points more than the next loudest state on the list, Massachusetts (41.31).
The research analyzed 11 key factors to map out the noisiest corners of the United States.
