    There’s still zero evidence for these claims of mysterious health issues.

    People have lived with noise pollution before.

        Thanks for yours. Clearly you contributed to the conversation by raising valid concerns about the story, regulations and the lead content of your pipes.

      “People have lived with water pollution before”, he says, dumping a truckload of depleted uranium into the swimming pool.

      Prolonged exposure to noise pollution is an unproven health risk? Yeah right.

        The reported health issues don’t align with understood examples of long term exposure to noise pollution.

        The studies the article claims exist don’t seem to.

        A single doctor is not a consensus.

        Be more critical with your thinking or you might find yourself falling for anti-vax or flat earth nonsense.

          A single doctor? It is, in fact, scientific consensus. And it has been for quite a while now.

          Noise pollution adversely affects the lives of millions of people. Studies have shown that there are direct links between noise and health. Problems related to noise include stress related illnesses, high blood pressure, speech interference, hearing loss, sleep disruption, and lost productivity. Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is the most common and often discussed health effect, but research has shown that exposure to constant or high levels of noise can cause countless adverse health affects.

          You can read a bit about it, but I assume that’s not what you really want.

            Neat that they don’t list half the ‘symptoms’ from the article!
