Noise pollution is the second leading cause of ill health, only behind air pollution
According to the World Health Organization in 2014
Problem
Most urban noise comes through windows
“It takes a toll on me.
I feel like my stress levels are permanently stuck at a certain level and can’t be decreased.”
“It’s the character of the sound. It’s whether or not you have control of the situation.”
“Every facet of urban life seems to seep its way into my bedroom. It’s as if my neighbors, the garbage trucks, the man blasting techno from his car, and the construction crews are all conspiring to sap the tranquility out of my daily life.”
