Thank you for speaking up about this important topic. It's high time we stopped sacrificing our health in order to accommodate the noise terrorists. Noise cancellation should become a central part of any building project and we need regulations which protect people's right to live without being constantly exposed to health-degrading levels of noise. As the speaker expressed it, it's most effective to regulate noise at the source, so that's obviously what we should do.

100% agree! So Much noise, i feel like I'm always in seach for quiet space even when im at home with my roomate...

To me it seems like the majority of people are becoming oblivious to unnecessary sounds. They don't seem to mind anymore. Mowing the law on sunday, loud phone calls in the office, bringing loudspeakers to the beach, construction sites that go on during the weekends. When I tried headphones in the office I was seen as strange and unreachable. This gave me stress as well as it feels bad to be frawned upon. It seems a change in cultural mindset is needed. But I do not have too much hope to be honest :). Have a great day everyone!

I went to see a hearing doctor a month ago and there was a guy waiting in line, so I asked him if he was there to see the doctor too. He was like, 'what?'. I repeated my question and he said 'yeah, I'm waiting too'. And then I was like 'what?' :D

I’m an RN and I work in a major metropolitan level 1 trauma center/emergency department every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The amount of noise is staggering and comes in the form of constant telephones ringing, paging, monitor alarms, yelling/screaming/crying, ambulances, police officers, paranoid schizophrenics, vomiting, coughing, etc. The best therapy is to spend copious amounts of time on my mountain bike in the forest by myself, where I’m truly happy. I really hate noise.

One of my old bosses probably thinks the same thing ... I remember at one company I worked for, every Monday morning, 7 am, the work week on the factory floor would begin with the bells that start the AC DC album, Back in Black, followed by the album cover to cover. And I have no regrets. The CNC tabletop router I was operating was still louder than the music, and if I have to choose between the 2, I would take the AC DC any day of the week.

Music over a tannoy I agree with but I have noise cancelling headphones that I need for work. My line of work requires concentration and the right environment for it but they have us sat next to a very noisy call center area. I can have by headphones playing low volume music so as to block out the rabble from the call center.

Noise can drive a person crazy. I worry about the young people who listens music right from earphones extremely loud.

One thing that was very interesting for me to learn is that at first, after living with background noise, it was very scary to be in full silence. I got anxiety a lot but tried to teach myself to do it anyway because I believe that spending certain amounts of time in a quiet spot each week is good for our health. It took me 2 and a half, actually almost 3 years, but now, for the most part, I crave silence as relaxation and tranquility, and when the noise goes off, like a power outage or we turn everything off, my body doesn’t get anxious anymore. It just calms down and I get so happy. I seek silence now. I think learning to relax and quiet down is a skill and an art in itself, and if we devote practice to it, we can get really good. And it will benefit our health!

Negligent people are the cause, sadly. Dogs managed by responsible people don't constantly bark all night or day. This is why I wish the USA had stronger regulations against this nonsense. All that neglect is cruel to the dog + everyone else. We need some form of licensing in place. By that, I mean that anyone wanting to get a dog should be required to get a dog license. You would have to pass a knowledge test and understand local regulations. I would go even further to require an annual vet check. It's too easy for anybody to get a dog. That harms the dogs + as I said, creates problems for everybody else.

I have tinnitus so I use background noise. Otherwise I hear eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee all the time. But I don't know if it's damage from noise or from the copious amounts of NSAIDs I've had to take all my life. I hear those can cause tinnitus, though I don't know how. If that's really true, I think that's what did it.

please help raise awareness on the damage that dogs that bark incessantly can have on human health. im miserable because of being exposed to this for around three years. we need laws against this and we need owners who do nothing to stop it go to jail and lose their dogs. if they arent being trained to behave or being properly taken care of, they must go to someone who can provide the education and environment a dog needs to not destroy the health of neighbors. this cant be tolerated anymore. we need to talk about the types of noises that invade our houses. sometimes we just cant escape from the noise. thats the worst type of noise pollution. if its outside and its stay there, it wont affet those inside. so we have to talk about the ones that do affect us even inside our houses, that were supposed to be safe places from all of this noise.

Good timing of this video. After a year of bad sleep because my upstair neighbours had a baby and put it in the bedroom just above mine, therefore waking me up several times per night, I realised they were on vacation this week cause I didn't ear a sound for a few days. But I thought I was paranoid when I heard a new baby, different cry though. And then I put my ear on the wall, and yes, my neighbours (same street, other building, don't know how they look like, never heard them before) just had a baby. And there goes another year of sleep, probably gonna have a breakdown now, bye. #damnbabiesareloud

Auds St Year of bad sleep? You measured the duration of your sleep accurately? How do you do this? You seem to be a doctor of a person. Would love to be as smart as you. I’m with you, sleep is important and should be peaceful/fulfilling to the highest potential one can seriously fully reach, because my sleeping is unfulfilled and unhealthy time to really sleep like a mummy.

I especially love when people drive down the road blasting bass from their speakers. That's my f a v o r i t e.

I've always felt this to be the case, i can't stand noise. Whenever i listen to anything it's always at a lower volume as it seems to irritate me.

All stress inducing elements (including noise) are very bad for your health.

Yep, Im the guy who cannot study at all when someone besides me making even a little noise, and on this situation i well get very angry about the noise resources. This is the reason why i seldom go to library to study (there is always someone whispering or physically making noises). I wonder it's me too sensitive or someone else is the same?

Definitely sharing this at work.

Before seeing this I turned the master switch off my home for an hour and the silence was Absolutely Fucking Amazing. I'm going to do this more often.

I can completely agree with all of this. I'm still going to add that conditioning for optimal comfort may not be the greatest solution, ultimately, through our time and in our future.

There's also low frequency sounds that can make you nauseous or your heart race - even if we cannot hear them they can still be felt because all sound is vibration.

Listen to this on full volume

You can also develop symptoms of schizophrenia, ie. Hearing voices, as your auditory processing becomes confused from a lack of peace. Also, tinnitus. (I have had and still have both myself, and cat miaowing also doesn't help!.. Alarm systems seem to have little biological sensitivity these days too.) Apparently there is a reduction of dysbindin in specialised glia in the brain during auditory hallucinations so messages cannot transfer in the usual way. It makes sense as fatty acids in the brain become damaged from stress, affecting memory and concentration. If you take omega three supplements, and get enough rest (basic access to silence, with 8 hours sleep) and hydration, you can help your fatty acids repair, and your CNS cope with basic mental processing again.

Water animals also have no peace. Our energy lines at seabed keep a constant low sound increasing their stress level.

He is not saying anything that I do not already know. I suffer from a condition called misophonia. I already suffered from a heart attack in 2013 and I would say that part of what contributed to that was noise and lack of proper sleep. The suburbs where I have lived for 30 years has become almost as noisy as the city I grew up in. Much of this noise is from idiots who deliberately blast loud music in the their vehicles and have loud exhaust systems. Then there is the endless chorus of leaf blowers and the daily cascade of lawn services mowing lawns with huge industrial strength riding mowers. My desire is to move to an area where it is unlikely to developed, away from any main road, and with as few neighbors as possible. Nothing is ever going to be done about noise - nothing! The hospitals, doctors, and drugs companies don't want to protect people from heart disease because the make more money if people are sick and have high blood pressure. Think about it! I am a realist. There is a lot of money to be made off of unhealthy people so don't count on the medical practitioners to help create a healthy world. The best strategy is to get as far away from the general population which is what I hope to do.

I've had Tinnitus since I was a baby and I had to be accepted and go through a Special Class at the Local University, which is one of the best ones anywhere near where I live. In this Special class, they taught the few of us that were accepted into it (literally not even a dozen kids and teens were accepted!) We were taught to deal with our Tinnitus by using Sound! It IS still something I use to this day, because no matter what, if I'm not listening to something either by using music or the tv on I deal with such horrid Tinnitus that it makes me literally sick. So yes--- Some noise and music is actually okay! It all depends on how loud, or if you're deaf or mostly deaf, then by all means, enjoy it as loud as its needed to attempt to block out Tinnitus, because it's one thing not many people can handle at all. Most of the small Class at the University couldn't handle it sadly 😢😢😢 I can't blame them, but I miss them so much! They were amazing!!!!!

Thank you sir for an educational intelligent presentation that didn't put me in a bad mood

Don't forget, you can intentionally use low-amplitude sources of noise to decrease the apparent volume jumps in unwanted sounds. It doesn't have to drown it out, and it can reduce the stressful effect of high-attack, high-amplitude (comparatively) noise. You can use music, or as many have suggested, your color choice of noise. I like music (no MC's and not a lot of lyrics) because the "watchtower" sense is muted to some degree. Rule of thumb: Just fill the space that you're in with a very-low conversational volume.

I am nearly deaf but can lipread fairly well. It does not take very long for me to become exhausted try to hold a conversation with a hearing person. After 5 or 10 minutes I have reached my limit and my brain just shuts down to sound and goes to a happier place. If there is any type of noise in the background the time limits are less.
