Nighttime traffic noise annoyed 48 million urban residents, doubled the number of rural ones. Noise pollution coming from train was a burden to 10 million and 8 million city residents in day and night respectively. For this category, the difference between the figures of city and rural areas was 2 million people for both day and night

In big cities, the data was up to 1 million residents during daytime and even fewer at night, whereas rural inhabitants did not experience this type of noise.

Hello there.

I maye be a tad bit late, but I'll provide you with substantial feedback on your writing. I hope this will help you.

I think the first two paragraphs are put-together and alright. Try to just omit the usage of filler words.

As for the succeeding paragraphs, I suggest having a more structured approach to writing. For instance, your third paragraph's first sentence can be separated into two in order to curate a more dynamic writing style. Doing so will help you incorporate more of an organized approach to relaying the information in your text.

Additionally, be cautious of your lack of usage of punctuation as this can hinder the overall flow of your writing.

Best of luck as always. Come back for more feedback.

@Maria Thanks. I'll remember this for next time.
