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.

Depending on the quantity of leaves, it could kill your grass / ground covering, so they will likely need to be dealt with somehow.

In nature that's fine, but for your yard, not as much.
