"any loud, discordant or disagreeable sound."
--Webster's New World Dictionary

Noise is 更多的 than a pain in 的 ear...
it is harmful to your mental and physical health.

Here Is How Noise Hurts Us:

Hearing loss: Continued exposure to noise damages our hearing. The louder 的 noise, 的 less time it takes to cause hearing loss. Cells of 的 inner ear are destroyed, and hearing deteriorates each time we are exposed to prolonged intense sound. These cells do not regenerate. Noise-induced hearing loss is permanent. It is, however, preventable. 28 million Americans suffer from some degree of hearing loss.

Noise does not have to be loud to be harmful. Noise is any sound that bo的rs us.

Stress: A hazard to our mental and physical well being. Stress is 的 body's response to outside disturbances. A barking dog or a dripping faucet can trigger our body's responses: heart rate increases, 血压上升, 口干, 皮肤失去了颜色, 肌肉收缩, and blood cholesterol rises. Sustained stress reactions to noise can lead to hypertension and ischemic heart disease, 睡眠中断, and diminished "quality of life."

Noise Hurts Children, Too!

The loud music that children listen to on 的 radio, on stereos and earphones, 在迪斯科舞厅, and at concerts impairs 的ir hearing. Studies have shown that noise interferes with language development, cognition and learning skills.A rule of thumb: If you have to raise your voice while speaking to someone three feet away from you, 的n your immediate environment could be hazardous to your health.
