"We're All Gonna Die" From Noise

From a European study:
Researchers monitored 140 sleeping volunteers in their homes near Heathrow and three other big European airports.

Volunteers' blood pressure increased after exposure to a noise louder than 35 decibels - whether it came from overhead aircraft, or snoring.
Previous studies have found that noise affects learning capabilities and harms children's health. Obviously, a healthy existence can only be achieved by living in a cave.
