Birmingham has been revealed as the noisiest city in the UK, according to a poll.
The Midlands city took the top spot, narrowly beating Bradford and Liverpool, which ranked second and third respectively, in a survey of over 2,000 city dwellers.
Other cities making a racket include Cardiff, Coventry, Leeds, and Newcastle, with Derby placing eighth.
Rounding out the top 10 are Nottingham and London.
The research was commissioned by Specsavers as part of its temporary tongue-in-cheek rebrand to ‘Specsandhearingsavers,’ to highlight its hearing services.
