Noise pollution in Tokyo
On thing I've noticed in the Tokyo area, there seems to be a LOT of unnecessary noise. There are pre-recorded warnings, beeping trucks, and even silly recorded bird song at rail stations. Every escalator has a "please watch your step" warning and many trucks have "Be careful, this truck is turning right(or left)" messages that play when they turn on their turn signal. I don't remember as much of it when I was in Japan in the '90s. It must have come later.

Nah, it was always there, but when you were there last you just didn't live so close to all of it. :)
