V Interesting.
The link with interpersonal trust (because of the effect on vaccination rates?) seems kind of sad.

What kind of extensive study like this ignores population density and urban population centers....

No, it’s noise pollution and no vehicles are fine when it’s right next to where you live. It’s mentally debilitating.

Reply to By combing through genomic data of over 1 million people, scientists have identified genes commonly inherited across addiction disorders, regardless of the substance being used, the findings also reinforce the role of the dopamine system in addiction by giuliomagnifico

Some people who take narcotics for chronic pain do not become addicted. Could it be that their "reward" is simply a reduction in their level of pain?

Makes perfect sense to me. If ancient man could split mountains with nothing but hammer and chisel, why shouldn't we be able to shake the earth with all our modern understanding and technology?

But would the lubricant make it worse thus counter acting the benefit of triggering the quake sooner?

Let's face it, it isn't simply "traffic noise" - it's the selfish, antisocial types with straight-piped Harley Davidsons and the wannabe Paul Walkers with modified exhausts on their cars. Regular vehicles are fine, modified exhausts and loud mufflers are not.

It's sad that most things ARE this simple, yet they'll never be done.

Correct me if I dont address your concern, but I believe you're mistakenly conflating "controlling for" and "ignoring" factors. Controlling for factors allows us to study the direct impact of variables that may be highly correlated with this noise. The authors had a pretty good reason, in the context/goal of the article:
"[W]e controlled for factors that have a known direct and biological connection to SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 death rates. These factors are generally outside the realm of policy makers in a crisis (eg, age profile, population density, and presence of comorbidities)."
Controlling for the data variance directly explained by things like population density allows us to learn about the policies and behaviors themselves, rather than allowing potentially correlated variables to muddy up the water. It's an extremely common and robust technique in statistical modeling.
