Suggest me a book that accurately portrays the everyday sounds you would hear in the city before cars, trains, airplanes, and leaf blowers proliferated the soundscape

Curious to know how noise pollution evolved over time. I recently started reading The Soundscape by Murray Schaefer but curious to learn more about the sounds of everyday life while out and about on the town, preferably before the invention of clocks as well.

I have heard that the church bells would ring every hour so you knew when you had to be at work since nobody kept a time piece but yearning to learn more.

Fiction or Non fiction.
