An eye—and ear—opening investigation into how the cacophony of our ever-noisier world affects our health, our well-being and our planet
ClamorDrawing on extensive research and original reporting, Berdik shows how a too-limited understanding of noise, focused on loud sounds and decibel counts, has undermined a century of noise-control efforts and obscured the full toll noise exacts on us and the environment. Chronic exposure to noise that falls below decibel-based thresholdssometimes even below our conscious awarenessis linked to spikes in the risk of heart disease and other serious health ailments that contribute to premature death. Noisy classrooms hinder developing minds and delay cognitive milestones. In forests and in the depths of the ocean, a cacophony of manmade sound disrupts the natural soundscape, threatening animals capacity to communicate, hunt, and flee predators.Clamor
