One would think being an audiophile that I enjoy the myriad of sounds I hear during the course of a day. However when I'm not listening to my stereo at 95+ decibels 'C' weighted, I appreciate the sound of silence.
Maybe its this pattern that has made me sensitive to noise during the day. I drive taxi, when I am not on a trip I sit and wait and enjoy the quiet time. But there is no quiet time, there is always some noise whether it be a dog barking, lawn mower, weed wacker, kids playing or cars driving by etc.etc..
This may seem trivial but I tell you all this unwanted noise has a wearing effecton on our sanity. I have to wonder how many people are stressed out as they work but have no idea as to why. Its because we are bombarded with noise and we have learned to live with it as we have no control over it.
Stop Noise Polluting NOW !!
We can all do our part when not listening to our stereo.
