This got me thinking: is there any direct correlation between noise levels with the level of happiness of an individual? I was pretty sure some time ago, I came across a video on social media that talked about the actual volume of noise that we live with everyday and how that subliminally affects our livelihood.
Let me see if I can find it… Though, before I link the video below, I would like to chat about some of my thoughts on the effects of noise pollution on our wellbeing.
I am pretty sure if I lived in New York long-term, eventually my eardrums (and being) would become more accustomed to the noise, however I doubt that is any good.
I definitely do believe that noise pollution can cause immense physical and mental stress. How could a person’s brain rest when they’re constantly receiving so much signals and noise, let alone think clearly? You can’t expect the glass of water to be clear and see-through when you’re constantly shaking the table.
I’m pretty sure the constant (loud) noise is not good for your eardrums either, literally physically.
