VOICED : New gadgets hope to hush Mumbais incessan

The video discusses the pervasive culture of honking in traffic, particularly in Mumbai, where it is more than just a safety measure but a way of life. This constant noise pollution has significant health impacts, including heart disease and hearing loss. To address this, a design firm developed Project Bleep, a device aimed at reducing honking by making drivers aware of their actions. Trials showed a 61% reduction in honking, and there are plans to make the device mandatory in Mumbai, encouraging drivers to think before they honk.

What challenges do the designers of Project Bleep face in implementing their device?
