No surprise here esp. as already noise pollution links to cardiovascular disease ‘Road noise makes blood pressure rise’ https://t.co/31WlCzPdi8
bbc.co.uk
Researchers say they studied data from more than 240,000 people who lived near noisy roads.

Great article on #noise #quiet - cultural differences, quality of #noise #soundscapes are so essential to consider as different people relate to them in different ways. Soundscapes can be complex & rich, esp. in cities @antoradix @HUSHCITYapp @tranquilcityapp @jimjajmus
After 5 years of living in Germany, I could easily ask, "Why do Germans love Quiet?" The obsession with policing neighbours' and strangers' volumes is inane. Germany is the only country where I have been shushed outside of a bodega for simply talking. https://t.co/7pc0WRhIvq

One of the strangest #soundspaces I’ve found in #Bristol Hostile but also somewhat musically windswept street, tall buildings and eddying winds. Area 5197 #Informative

Such great work @antoradix! Been using @HUSHCITYapp with @BriSoundwalks for years. It’s a great way to work with people to better understand their environment and impact on health, stop and listen, challenge perceptions and explore their neighbourhood and cities
Thrilled to see @HUSHCITYapp feat. among the #Planning #Apps Hall of Fame by @planetizen Thanks a lot! 🤩 #city #citizenscience #quiet #health #wellbeing #senses

Noise is too often the forgotten pollutant. Good piece in @CityLab on how to measure, understand, & reduce bad noise in cities @antoradix @HUSHCITYapp @cityofsound
https://t.co/nA7rxo9GEe

To reduce noise, cities need new sensor technology that can tell the difference between a dog barking, a garbage truck and a revving motorcycle engine.

We wouldn’t condone litter in our parks and countryside, so why do we put up with sound pollution? Alex Moshakis meets the people tasked with ‘saving quiet for the benefit of all life’ and hears...

#soundscapes of urban life are important; a diversity & richness of positive sounds a sign of a thriving city, neighbourhood, health and communities. @HUSHCITYapp @BriSoundwalks Impact of sound / noise on health & well being is not just dB - it’s quality of sounds
My favourite urban sounds include: different languages being spoken, bicycle bells, soulful music emanating from patios & street festivals, birdsong, dogs convening, basketball court buzz, old women haggling in Chinatown & Caribbean food markets and rainfall on rooftops.✨
