Sounding the alarm: How noise hurts the heart (2021)
This is one of the things I struggle with the most in life. I feel like most people don't seem to care about noise pollution and zero care is put into designing living spaces or cities to minimize it. I've moved into apartments and nearly cried because I realized that there was some noise pollution that wasn't apparent when I visited it (e.g. a water boiler that ran constantly at night, road noise during the day, etc) and would have to deal with it for a year.<p>One of the few countries I've been to that takes noise pollution seriously is Switzerland. A beautifully peaceful and quiet country.
