Noise has long been known to cause sleeplessness and irritability, and now other
studies are linking it to a wide range of mental and physical disturbances. In Los
Angeles, researchers have found that people living near the airport are more likely to
suffer from mental illness than people living just eight kilometers away. In Osaka, one of
the loudest cities in Japan, babies born to mothers living near the airport have unusually
low birth weights. And tests of children raised near auto expressways in New York City
showed them to be poor readers compared with other children living slightly farther
.away

According to Dr.Samuel Rosen, a leading ear specialist, long exposure to high levels of
sound can even cause fluttering of the heart. Says Dr. Fray: "Undoubtedly a lot of heart
attack victims are finished off when the ambulance siren is turned on". Can long
?exposure to loud sounds shorten your life-span
Nothing has been proved one way or another", says Jeffrey Goldstein, "but it figures "
that if stress shortens the life-span, and noise causes stress, noise can shorten the life-
."span
