In my area half the issue is cars being parked on the way, which is why the truck has to approach the bins in reverse, which is particularly loud.

The other half is buildings being spaced 7m apart, because that's the minimum allowable at this height. The echo is enormous.

That being said it's still more tolerable than the people absolutely punching it through our 30km/h street with their modified exhausts and windows rolled down - as if the point for them was to lose hearing as fast as possible.
