Interesting. Taipei, Taiwan has a similar problem: Endless motorbikes and motorscooters. The droning background noise of two stroke engines is awful (plus air pollution!). However, it is improving quickly with the arrival of electric equivalents. Is Barcelona pushing to replace two stroke engines with electric? It will make a huge difference! Also, I wonder if electric garbage trucks could also help.
