"It is known that exposure to noise of a certain frequency does not induce a higher TS at that frequency, but rather at 0.5 to 2 octaves above that frequency, depending on the species"[1] ("auditory threshold shift (TS)").

A meta observation: When the internet was new, and then the web, there was a puzzle of how society might adapt to information becoming more easily accessible than it had been. Bomb making instructions was a commonly used example. Society responded narrowly, by for instance outlawing such instructions. There's an entwined puzzle around understanding information. If science education someday fails less pervasively, how might society adapt? It's perhaps not a near-term challenge, but maybe something to think about.
