Will electric cars help solve noise pollution?
CrowdScience presenter Alex Lathbridge tackles chaotic Mumbai traffic in an effort to understand the real sources of noise pollution.

Discovering more than just engineering solutions to the problem, CrowdScience visits one of the world’s loudest cities, Mumbai in India. It is a place where noise has become a way of life. But is that all about to change?
