There are “speed bumps” and “speed tables”. Speed bumps are indeed noisy. Speed tables are low and flat and thus much easier on suspensions and ears. I don’t believe anyone is proposing speed bumps rather than speed tables.
Here is a nice description of speed tables: https://nacto.org/publication/urban-street-design-guide/street-design-elements/vertical-speed-control-elements/speed-table/ Please do not be put off by the words “urban” and “city”. Formal roadway documentation tends to distinguish between “highway” and city/urban rather than urban and country.
