Noise Pollution The nature of sound Sound‚ a manifestation of vibration‚ travels in wave patterns through solids‚ liquids and gases. The waves‚ caused by vibration of the molecules‚ follow sine functions‚ typified by the amplitude and wavelength (or frequency) Sound waves of equal amplitude with increasing frequency from top to bottom Reflecting on noise “Noise" derived from "nausea‚" meaning seasickness Noise is among the most pervasive pollutants today Noise is unavoidable for many

The use of recorded sound in films was a technological achievement that would dramatically change the way audiences experience cinema. The transition from silent cinema affected many studios and filmmakers‚ who had to adapt to the new technology to prevent their careers from fading into obscurity. One filmmaker who was able to adapt to the changing industry was director Fritz Lang. The Austrian born director‚ whose career began in post-war Germany in 1919‚ made the transition to sound in 1931

rain‚ thunder‚ and birds. Our sense of hearing can have a strong influence on our emotional health. Below are a number of common benefits that nature sounds may offer: - Consistent sounds‚ like rain or waterfalls‚ act like a "white noise machine" that masks household noises such as refrigerators‚ heaters‚ and creaking floors. These types of sounds often help light sleepers and infants sleep better. - The sound of steady‚ rhythmic ocean waves provides a sensation of relaxation and calm. The hypnotic

Noise in the city Steve Curwood: Modern life is full of nasty noises‚ especially in the cities. Sirens can shatter serenity at any moment and jackhammers‚ loud music‚ and useless mufflers can all send us over the edge. For many people in New York City‚ there’s one form of sonic pollution at the top of the list. They’re calling for its banning‚ even though some nervous New Yorkers savor the sound for security reasons. And as Neal Rauch reports‚ even as the controversy prompts loud debate‚ some aren’t

Outdoor sports are also wonderful because the fresh air‚ it’s easier to breathe and the noise level is still loud but you don’t have to deal with the echoes like indoor arenas have. The major thing to think about when comparing indoor and outdoor sports is the price of the facilities and the price to maintain the facilities the sports are

as without new players entering the game this is somewhat inevitable. Our concern is whether any entrant that has the capacity to counterbalance this reduced competition in the market is significantly deterred from entering due to the existance of barriers. In determining this it must be proven that entry is not only possible but likely (European Union‚ 2004). One must not get too bogged down in proving that entrants can enter a market as this information is rather trivial. Competition policy must

Automobiles are undeniable the greatest source of pollution. The noise pollution created by cars is immense. Another polluting effect of cars is the heat it creates. This heat makes it unpleasant to be near the car while its running. And of course the most famous of the automobiles evils is the exhaust. The toxic
