Apparently it's possible to trim hedges for six hours straight.

AAAS: "Ship noises prove a nuisance for Arctic narwhales." The Arctic Ocean is normally awash with noise, with the cacophony of moving ice + calving icebergs. But novel anthropogenic sources of noise from ships + oil/gas infrastructure are disrupting the natural submarine soundscape. "Now, a research team has found that even subtle underwater noise pollution can cause narwhals to make shallower dives and cut their hunts short." Every narwhale returns to the same small fjord where it was birthed + feeds on fish, squid + shrimp. "As humans increasingly encroach on Arctic waters, though, scientists, conservationists, and Inuit communities have worried about how development and ship traffic will affect the whales." The airguns used to blast air a few meters below the surface to search for petroleum resources are the loudest sounds put into the ocean by humans. "Blackwell, Tervo, and colleagues teamed up with local hunters to catch narwhals and affix tracking tags that could reveal how the animals reacted to the boat noises that might accompany oil development." The tags noted GPS location, swimming velocity, diving depth + surrounding noise environment. "As soon as an [airgun simulator] ship was within earshot of the narwhales, the whales aborted their deep dives and stopped “buzzing”—the term used for the series of rapid clicks narwhals use to sense food underwater." This is similar to the threat reaction to orca whales showing up. The researchers recommend governments cooperate to establish shipping routes that skirt narwhale habitat. Acoustic pollution. Save the whales.

Lots of good science in this book that isn't limited to walking and underscores how whether we like it or not, we're still connected to nature, and nature sounds, smells, chemicals, microbes, and scenes lower our cortisol levels, bring us mental clarity and well-being, and improve mood.

Striking how, according to a study cited in the book, birdsong can induce calm, while traffic noise is associated with anxiety.

Very loud disturb the peace & . If we can't educate the manufacturers, the consumer or government that very loud motorbikes are a sign \ sound of ignorance, what can we do?

Love it when we have a good rain during the summer. It cuts down on the motorcycle/ dirtbike/motorbike/moped noise, which is in addition to the car engines modified to be as loud as possible or create a backfire effect. Vehicle noise has gotten to be a huge problem that nobody will acknowledge in this city.

Genuine question, is there any evidence car alarms do anything other than cause noise pollution from false positives, often at antisocial hours, and long period ps of time?

From the smallest plankton to the largest whales, disrupts the harmonious underwater symphony that marine species create and rely on for survival.

🔇It’s time to turn down the volume

atlasobscura.com/places/one-sq “One Square Inch of Silence. It’s supposed to be a place utterly devoid of ambient noises, such as the roar of an airplane or the shrill ring of a cellphone. But the area isn’t completely silent. It’s designed to highlight the difference between natural sounds—things like the soft trickle of rainwater or the buzzing hum of an insect—and human noise. Hempton launched this “sanctuary of silence” with the hope the place will allow people to listen to and connect with the sounds of nature. The absence of anthropogenic noise is also good for the wildlife, as human noise often negatively affects animals’ feeding, breeding, and nesting habits.

Ideally, One Square Inch of Silence will act as an epicenter for a phenomenon that will reverse the effects of noise pollution. By encouraging and spreading silence, it could potentially counteract the rippling consequences loud human noises have on the local environment”.
