High-speed trains in China add quiet carriages for travellers who don’t want to hear other passengers’ phones and loud conversations
- In quiet cars passengers must use audio devices with headphones and leave the carriage to take a phone call
- Major cities are also trying to lower noise levels on subways by punishing people for using smartphones on speaker rather than earphones
