Noise and Health

Noise pollution is more than a nuisance. It's a health risk

To say the onus is on the individual to fix their noise exposure is not feasible.

Noise and Health An article from Harvard Medicine

“Airplanes pierce the night. Leaf blowers interrupt fall mornings. Quiet gives way to air conditioners, pounding music, construction equipment, street traffic, barking dogs, sirens.

For half a century, U.S. agencies such as the EPA have deemed noise pollution “a growing danger to the health and welfare of the Nation’s population.” The European Environmental Agency reports that noise ranks second only to air pollution as the environmental exposure most harmful to public health.”
