Anthropogenic sound grows dominant and damages animal and human health

Evidence

The anthrophonies are the results of the movements of artificial devices such as cars, train, airplanes, industrial machinery, and bells. This component of the soundscape is becoming intrusive and dominant in large parts of the Earth, associated with urban development and globalized trade. … In humans, high levels of noise can cause annoyance and aggression, hypertension, hearing loss, additional stress, tinnitus, hearing loss, sleep disturbance, etc. Long-term exposure to high levels of noise can contribute to cardiovascular pathology and to an increment in blood pressure. — Almo Farina, Soundscape Ecology, 121
