Friesland Singing Road, Frisian Anthem Noise Complaints
A "musical road" installed in the Friesland province of the Netherlands was removed after only one week due to intense noise complaints from local residents. The road was designed to play the Frisian regional anthem when driven over at the correct speed, but drivers intentionally sped over the strips at night, creating a constant cacophony. The $99,000 project was intended to celebrate Leeuwarden's status as the 2018 European Capital of Culture.
