But the most significant change in modern science is not just about the amount of noise, but how we experience it. Noise is no longer understood solely as a problem that affects hearing, it is also recognised as a systemic environmental pollutant. Transport noise is now one of the leading environmental cause of illness in Europe, second only to air pollution.

They don't bother me, even the loud gas-powered ones.

My HOA includes landscaping and they come around once on month on Monday and that saves me from raking. It only takes a few minutes and they move on to the next house.

Purposely loud motorcycles and cars, on the other hand...
