    Some sections, like Shibuya, are noisy. There's lots of music and different noises coming from stores. I found Shibuya crossing to be especially noisy. Still, in rural areas, it is as quiet as Kansas.

    Yeah, it's fairly quiet here in the midwest.
    I would think it'd be noisy in Japan, since alot of people seem to live in citites.
