I would tell them to take the roads to where there is less noise. The farther out of the city you go, the more beautiful the scenery, and the quieter it will be.

Favorite Road
Tustin Ave.

I like this road because it leads you all the way through town. It is the main road to take when going shopping or to a mall, but it also leads all the way out to less populated areas, and has nice scenery.
