Top 10 Loudest Cities in the USA

noisiest-cities

We all know life can get a little hectic sometimes—and maybe even a little noisy.

From neighbors and traffic to trains and barking dogs, noise is a part of our everyday lives. But did you know there are serious repercussions when it comes to daily exposure to high noise levels? It’s important to stay aware of how noise can affect you—both physically and emotionally—and learn how you can protect yourself and loved ones from noise pollution.

Simply put, noise can make you sick.

Even if you think you’ve become accustomed to the hustle and bustle of your clamoring surroundings, noise has serious health effects—this includes your blood pressure, heart rate, sleeping patterns,  hearing, concentration, ability to heal after an illness or injury and overall mood.

In fact, the effects of noise pollution have been linked to hypertension, heart disease and tinnitus. Changes in the immune system and birth defects have also been attributed to overwhelming amounts of noise exposure.

If that’s not enough to convince you to start taking advantage of a little peace and quiet, studies show children brought up in noisy environments have a harder time than their peers with school work while the elderly can experience exaggerated symptoms of illness, depression, anxiety and sleep deprivation!
