physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed
to it

Trang 4Unlike the eyes, which can be covered by the eyelids against strong light, the ear has no lid, and is, therefore, always open and vulnerable; noise penetrates without protection
Noise causes effects that the hearer cannot control and to which the body never becomes accustomed Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism,
including human beings In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate, blood vessels
constrict, the skin pales, and muscles tense In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear, and some of these responses persist even longer than the noise, occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound has ceased
Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the same way that we would respond to danger Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach We have long known that hearing loss is America's number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be
victims of noise as well Fetuses exposed to noise tend to be overactive, they cry easily, and they
are more sensitive to gastrointestinal problems after birth In addition, the psychic effect of noise
is very important Nervousness, irritability, tension, and anxiety increase affecting the quality of rest during sleep, and the efficiency of activities during waking hours, as well as the way that we interact with each other
