Birds sing louder and at a higher pitch in urban areas, where there is ambient low-frequency noise. [58] [59] Traffic noise was found to decrease reproductive success in the great tit (Parus major) due to the overlap in acoustic frequency. [60] During the COVID-19 pandemic, reduced traffic noise led to birds in San Francisco singing 30% more ...
