The noise of modern life is a significant source of stress which is proven to cause serious diseases like heart diseases, diabetes and chronic ilnesses. You can research this further.

Though crowds and big objects moving at very high speeds very near to you (cars) are also stress-inducing imho. Your subconscious is just warning you that this life with this much sound isn’t healthy at all.
