It is pretty windy and the straight broad streets ensure the wind flows. It's something that actually surprised me when I lived there. Trains, taxis and busses are also major contributors to the noise, along emergency services.

Compared with other places, NYC air could be a LOT better.

Taxis are getting the conversion tax. Take and busses are by definition a tiny fraction of the impact.
