1. Is it hard to find quiet places in cities?

The main reason is the lack of traffic and industries in cities. Moreover, there is a lot of greenery which absorbs noise rather than reflecting it.

I think the main reason is so that can think peacefully and concentrate on their work. Noise is distracting and it also reduces our efficiency.

6. Do you need a quiet place when you are working?
Yes, I do appreciate a quiet place when I’m working, but unfortunately, it is not always possible. So I’ve got used to some amount of noise around me.
