Wanted in Berchem: loud fountain to cover up the noise of cars. “Local residents can choose from five fountains”

The Antwerp district of Berchem is looking for a fountain for the Brilschanspark. Make no mistake: it is not a search for dreamy romance, we are looking for the fountain that best masks the noise of traffic on the Ring. Environmental Noise Professor Timothy Van Renterghem (UGent) selected five finalists that local residents can come and listen to on Saturday. Why do people choose a loud fountain to cover up the ambient noise?
