That sounds cacophonous to the point that it would drive me insane, so I might skip Japan on my travel itinerary.

Prepare for insanity then as this is becoming the norm for the UK, I’m surprised you haven’t experienced it yet.

A lot of construction machinery is now getting to the point it announces just that it is in use every 5 - 10 seconds. It is fucking obnoxious.
