Noise Pollution Is Much Worse For You Than You Think

- Noise pollution is one of the types of pollution we don't often think about. The World Health Organization, CDC, and researchers worldwide have been warning against the effect it has on human health for decades.
We spoke with Ted Rueter, founder of Noise Free America, and Kit Frank, an audiologist at NYU Langone Health, about what they think of noise pollution and the damage it can do to our hearing and overall health.
Noise Free America has been battling noise pollution in America for years. One of their latest approaches was to publish the book "Guide to Modified Exhaust Systems: A Reference for Law Enforcement Officers and Motor Vehicle Inspectors."

The noise in my house alone makes me chronically depressed
Yeh, we bear the same brunt of noise pollution

Dude help me
I believe that my earpieces will kill my ear b4 the city does
bryan chong how high do you set your earphones volume
It's a terrible and serious problem. In my city (Ciudad de México) is unbelievable the amount of noise almost everywhere, but it's such an essential part in our culture (sadly) that I think it's gonna be very hard to solve it, at least not in short term.
Marco VETO okay
Marco VETO I feel your pain. I have mexican neighbors who blast music very loudly.
Mexico uses concrete construction! Try post-war NYC buildings made out of spit and rice paper coupled with every tenant using subwoofers like they are in a farm in the middle of 1000 acres.
Same story in Jerusalem. Half the problem is cultural. People associate thinks like honking their horns as celebrating life. The louder the better. It's very frustrating!
Yes, it's true. In some cultures there is a lot of acceptance of noise and I agree with you that it will be difficult to change it. I think it would help to make people aware of a certain rule: the noisier a country is, the poorer its citizens. It is worth paying attention to the fact that silence is needed to develop the mind, learn and study. Wealthy districts are always quiet, peaceful, because only rest in peace allows people to achieve high mental and physical performance, and the rich realize that this is necessary to maintain their status. I think that if people universally understood why silence is needed, they would demand it in every country.
I lived in Germany for 2 years and its true that Sunday is a quiet day. because nothing is open and there is nothing you can do, so everyone is noisy and busy every other day to the point where they make up the noise anyway.
The cities need to take this seriously
amen. I live in Queens and the noise on my street is unbelievable.
ProtagonistNonTheist it’s not even like the cars right? I’m on the 9th floor of my college dorm and it’s like people are screaming all night long.
Poison them. The less people alive that are douchebags, the better. The world is already overpopulated as it is.
RIP Ted. Thanks so much for helping to spread awareness. You have inspired many to keep up the cause. We could all benefit from a quieter and more to peaceful world!
Working in my front yard I notice that a lot of the local young people by a perfectly good, quiet Honda Civic and then go out and put loud mufflers on them. What's the point?
Because race car
Boswell the pug because it sound good, i like the sound of engine revving. it feel like heaven to me. as long as its below 95 decibel the state allow it.
@@superknightlol ricer
I live right next to a freeway and it really sucks in terms of noise
me too. i use to cry and have blackouts because the noise made me have painful migraines every day
Perfectly said - you can function among these sounds, you can have the feeling of "being used to" them, but their harmful effects persist. No matter what the person thinks about it. The earplugs you speak of are a solution, but only when it comes to protecting your hearing itself. A sound wave also consists of a frequency, the lower the frequency, the more harmful it is to the body as a whole. This is the fact that even deaf people can be harmed by noise, because it hits the whole body as a wave.
Great video! I posted about the noise pollution problems in Reddit when I was living in DC, Austin and now LA. In almost every case, most people didn't seem to care, or they would say something like "go live in the country." I am majorly affected by noise pollution and I am in fact moving further away from cities, and I also successfully convinced DC to roll out sound cameras that can automatically ticket loud cars. I think the migration to EVs will help a lot in reducing noisy cities, and I do wish there were bans on any loud noises on Sundays like he mentions in Germany. I consider this to be a very serious issue and I wish people would take it seriously and we could have quieter cities, but as long as you're allowed to rip the muffler off your car and make your car sound like a NASCAR racer, there are always going to be assholes who ruin it for everyone. "Freedom!" they'll say. But honestly, I've given up trying to fight the system. I'm going to relocate further out to the country to find quieter (and more affordable) living options. I can see a world in 2035 where most cars are EVs and cities are much quieter, but in the short term I think we just have to suffer with the fact that cities are very loud and most people don't consider it to be a problem.
In Europe, noise lovers also repeat the text "move to the countryside", which is absurd. I don't know what it's like in US, but in Europe the countryside is louder than the city. In the countryside there are more huge machines used for agricultural processing, which without exception, reach above 100 dB, they are much louder than any legally registered car. In addition, there is a huge problem with the noise of motocross bikes and quads. Farm areas are rather small so you can't really distance yourself from or cut yourself off from these noises. For this reason, moving to the countryside may only make matters worse in Europe. I think it may be different in the USA because of the size of the country.
There is a marked difference between my hearing and my sister's hearing... she's only 4.5 years older than me, but her level of hearing is shite to mine... she's been to concert after concert and club after club and it's no wonder that she not only can't hear as well, but can't determine what half the sounds she hears are... a sound comes at us on multiple frequencies and when you can't hear all of them it's really difficult to deduce what it is or where it came from... people take some of their most important senses for granted!!!
Noise should be a big part in life because you need to hear that is important music is a small part what makes you less able to enjoy the quiet when you hear it to loud
please help raise awareness on the damage that dogs that bark incessantly can have on human health. im miserable because of being exposed to this for around three years. we need laws against this and we need owners who do nothing to stop it go to jail and lose their dogs. if they arent being trained to behave or being properly taken care of, they must go to someone who can provide the education and environment a dog needs to not destroy the health of neighbors. this cant be tolerated anymore. we need to talk about the types of noises that invade our houses. sometimes we just cant escape from the noise. thats the worst type of noise pollution. if its outside and its stay there, it wont affet those inside. so we have to talk about the ones that do affect us even inside our houses, that were supposed to be safe places from all of this noise.
Those dogs are behaving like dogs are supposed to, they are supposed to bark, we co evolved with dogs you should be fine with barking.
@@peabrain6872
That's so not true my dogs have been taught to use indoor voices and they can also wisper.
I love it when people are trying to sneak around and I'm having my dog wisper and then let them quietly charge the door or gate while whispering , scare the tar out of them . Don't get to do that often .
@@peabrain6872 lmao you have a well suited youtube name.
@@mythicalmeanderings nope. Do you hate people talking? Birds chirping? Cats meowing?
I live in korea and it's really loud..
Constant lower than 65 db is also not good, and there are medical, peer reviewed studies that show that lower hertz 20 - 200 hz can cause serious issues, especially if daily. Oh, and lower than 20 hz which your ear can't hear? Yeah, your brain can still detect the vibrations and if constant can also cause issues. Noise pollution is a serious issue that affects not only your hearing, but also your mental and physical health.
yes indeed
There is also studies on noise and cortisol . Are your noisy family , friends and neighbors making you fat ? Maybe😢😮
A sound pressure level meter app is interesting and useful, but it's an awful lot of data reduced to just a number - no context. May I suggest that a (continuous) spectrogram is far more informative: x-axis for time, y-axis frequency, volume color-coded.
San Diego is super noise polluted
Andy Peterson how I live there XD
Cheeks motorcycles , car mufflers , airplanes ...are you deaf? Or do you live in a rich part of town?
This is a baby compared to my neighbourhood. 24/7 construction noise
Can't remember when we had a quiet time
Ear Noise canceling Headphones are a easy choice
You are from india?
in the philippines especially in cities, occasionally you hear street preachers causing unnesary noise worse if they do a door to door preaching is a pain in the neck
reporting them to the barangay or preaching the gospel can only be done on place of worship not on public places.

The biggest noise polluter in my city (Sao Paulo) are the busses, damnn, they are SO loud!!!! hate it
How about here in the Philippines ? In manila its way louder than in New York City.
Come to Honolulu, the noisiest city in the USA! Up to 20% of cars, motorcycles, and mopeds are illegally modified to be loud. Garbage pickup occurring EVERY day at 6AM or even earlier. Military helicopters buzzing across the island. Endless ambulance and fire truck sirens, even at night when there is no traffic. Welcome to paradise!
Will it be enough to ban existing
Ted Rueter looks like Dwight from the office 😂
lmaoo.. it disturbs me to see how much like dwight he looks
if you live in a place where there is constant noise pollution and nobody wont do anything about it just call the police.
i dont care what kind of noise it is, if you pay rent you have a right to a quiet place to live!
I'm only looking this up because of a game I just recently bought and played for the first time City sky lines and the game mentions sound pollution I had to look it up because I'm questioning "is that a actual thing?" After reading description yeah it makes sense. Can explain at times why people prefer to live out in the open country like me.
I play that game too
I work in a retail store where u can barely hear yourself think. At the end of every shift when I get home, I normally have my head my hands for a few minutes because of the constant ringing in my ears😳
This is called "environmental noise pollution" Talk to Brüel & Kjær they have the best sound meters in the world.
I use a volume limiter on my Airpods to limit the max SPL to 85 dB. I prefer listening to my music around 63 to 70 decibels. I have good hearing and pitch recognition up to 17.5 KHz, I however have tinnitus from the days of blasting my car stereo often but, I put an end to that bad habit 2.5 years ago after the tinnitus got bad enough. A habit of blasting a car stereo on max volume for a month of 1-hour daily commutes to work can be as damaging to a human hearing an airbag deployment from an accident if not more. I wear Ear Pro when I'm doing loud activities such as attending a loud concert or driving more than a couple screws with a cordless impact driver.
Not only are there electric vehicles, but also electric battery-powered lawn tools. Battery electric lawn mowers, leaf blowers, trimmers, chainsaws, etc. are widely available and for low prices.
Electric vehicles are as noisy as gas powered cars, the noise comes from tyres
@@arthurbdt2329 Wrong. I hear exhaust noise from combustion vehicles constantly, inside my home with doors and windows closed, 100 feet from the road, waking me up in my bed. Much of it is from illegal exhaust modification, so the problem here is lack of law enforcement. But some is from heavy vehicles, which have loud exhausts even with legal mufflers, since they need extra power to pull the heavy weight. Also, combustion lawn equipment is very noisy and constantly disturbs the peace (and pollutes the air where people live).
@@adamselene9264 Change to better windows or get Ear Noise canceling Headphones are a easy choice
@@Jakkaribik1 That does not work. These noise sources are so loud they overpower headphones or thick windows. Besides, it is not okay to abuse people and say that people can simply take measures to reduce the abuse. You should not tolerate people hurting other people in the first place, especially if the abuse is malicious and unnecessary. You might as well say the solution to people shooting people with bullets is for everyone to wear ballistic Kevlar vests.
@@adamselene9264 Nah If they Abuse Thick Windows and Noise Canceling headphones reduce the Damage if there is still any Left but yes you helping yourself dosent make other peoples wrong better
we need to build tech so we can regrow ear hair
Sir Zamora So true! Like I get it's getting louder and stuff but to be honest people are losing their hearing by lots of other causes and if they don't want it to be a problem anymore they need to start working on a way to regrow hair cells in the Cochlea!
We have hearing aids so I'd what the fuss is about, it makes hearing aid Company's money
hate baby noise and city noise ?~~czcams.com/video/KNvyaQ-TMrg/video.html
Thats why i use noise cancelling headphones without music
Does this cause tenitis?
It might because that thing that you are using is the measurer of the decibels or it means how much the decibels do the people hear in the cities or anywhere loud.Thanks for that
My hearing is fine, but when I hear a loud noise,there is something sounds like a heartbeat in my left ear.
Does anyone know what is this ?

The homeless get the most noise keeping them awake. I wheeled a urine soaked wheelchair user into the town centre for a "place to sleep".
It was 8am on a bright busy Sunday. Must be pretty tired if you can faint into sleep without a head rest on the wheelchair in that environment.
Come to italy to experience the best noise pollution ever, italy loves noise, we produce more and more and just don't care, full noise experience.
I can say: I invite you to Poland, we will be happy to teach Italians how to make real noise.😉 It's a joke, but seriously, I have been to Italy many times and, yes, you are a talkative and lively people, but the difference is that you have extremely quiet villages. There are places where you can enjoy silence all day long and truly relax from the hustle and bustle - but not in Poland. There is absolutely nowhere to escape from the noise.

Is that something to be proud of? Lol
Electric vehicles could solve the problem immensely but there will be the inevitable complains from those people who are hearing impaired.
Not as much as you might think, at low speeds, they have to make a sound so people hear them, but a major, but often overlooked aspect to noise is the rolling noise created by the tyres rolling along the road. Electric cars are heavier, so the rolling noise is more than for a petrol or diesel car. The real solution is less cars, more walking, cycling and public transport
@@Bufo_Bufo dogs are companions, their barks are part of their biology just like talking is for us, we co evolved with dogs dude their barking is helpful
@@peabrain6872
Not if they re barking at your neighbors out front that aren't causing a problem (there are some good neighbors ) while the crooks are breaking in your back door and you can't hear them because you didn't teach them the differance . There is more to being a pet owner than just a big ole bag of ole' Roy dog food. You need to spend the time and socialize them. Love them enough to keep them safe . Teach them your neighbors don't deserve to be yelled and screamed (barked) at by your dog.
