Teach the deer to cross in lower traffic areas or school crossings.

Yeah, everybody that live in the country really enjoys when passers-through leave an extra measure of noise in their wake. That's why they live out there of course.  |

Yeah, I guess if you have a place in the suburbs, a farm and a cabin in the woods you have to put up with everything.
Street traffic is muted by a gated fence here, but it's the railyards. If the Amtrak isn't high-balling out of town, they are slamming boxcars together in the switch yard. At midnight.
For the mandatory excessive noise electric cars will require, I suggest a rising Shephard tone. It would sound like it's coming at you even when it's going away.
And blue dots in the tail lights. |

You sure as hell do. :/
When flying over the desert I noticed it looks "deserted". I suppose I could go to some gawd-forsaken, completely inhospitable place and maybe catch a break from motorized mayhem. |

Some fool would fly over you in an airplane. 
My brother took the opposite approach. He lives in a hole in the water in the Sea of Cortez. |

Your video made me think of the Primitive Technology channel on Youtube.
Instead of the aluminum boat and steel tools, he starts with a pair of pants and his bare hands. He's up to a tile roof and a forge. He gets iron ore from bacteria in the stream.
