In one of my worst places for noise pollution I would regularly have thoughts of throttling the perpetrators to death. This was one thing that made me realise how bad noise is for people.

- mbork_pl 3y agoWhat a sad story... That said, I absolutely love the expression "sonic assault". I'm adding it to my vocabulary, right next to the uses of "sonic" as a verb and as a noun. ;-)

- screye 3y agoI grew up in South Asia, with my window facing a large public ground. Weekly, Random schools blast deafeningly loud speakers into our windows. All this, just so teachers could shout left-right-left, as kids marched on out of sync. I'm not exaggerating. It was physically painful and I have heard my parents utter words reserved only for the worst of scum. Who is it for? If I'm losing my hearing, surely the participants must be in lot more pain. I suspect that many people in public event planning suffer degraded hearing early....... which in turn leads to them setting even higher volumes. I'm a big fan of the hustle and bustle of big cities. But, there is a reason for targeted defening sounds being used as torture in Guanatanamo Bay.
