It’s not just you that’s getting older – It’s fact: The world is getting louder. Machines are everywhere today and they make noise as do emergency vehicles, music in public spaces, other people’s technology, automobiles, trains, airplanes and more. Most damaging can be lower volume lower frequency “humming” noises like refrigerators, data storage centers and air conditioners. It has been found that these forms of auditory noise have a disproportionate impact on middle and lower-income communities. In major cities residents now consistently raise their concern over noise, but little to nothing is being done about it.
