People think that's not a big deal and you just get used to it, but the truth is, your brain is ALWAYS processing that noise in the background as a source of potential danger, taking a long-term tall on your mental state.
I work in an office with poor CO2 PPM levels, and constant noise. I've started enjoying working from home, even though I used to absolutely hate doing that.

- drcross 7y agoThe depth and breadth of neurological issues could not possibly be explained simply by noise. Humans lived in close quarters for most of our existence which would have included a lot of elevated noise levels.
- mmhsieh 7y agothere might be a different set of neurological effects caused difference between the noise spectra of natural sources, to include human generated noise, and the unnatural sources like car traffic. the color spectrum of natural scenes has been found to have different impacts than that of manmade urban scenes.
- Reason077 7y agoYes, I wonder about the noise issue too. In my personal experience, living near a busy road had a huge effect on sleep quality which in turn increases stress levels and reduces wellbeing.
