It is a fairly quiet village because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy.

Cuba has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Cuba has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Cuba than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here.
