Traffic Noises

Traffic noises can be soothing to some but most people find the sound of screeching tyres, thundering engines, honking, and cussing disruptive. If you live in a busy neighbourhood these sounds will surround you all day and all night. You might like to believe that your mind is blocking out these sounds but the truth of the matter is that some part of your mind is always listening. Your subconscious mind is always picking up on sounds and analyzing these noises for danger. It is a natural response that protects us from harm. And because your mind is always listening, focusing, and analyzing, it can make you feel quite exhausted. 

School Noises

Noises From Heavy Duty Machinery

Businesses in your neighbourhood might require the use of heavy-duty machinery to stay operational or to tend to repairs. Machines like trucks, bobcats, skid steers, excavators, and power tools like jackhammers or drills can be very loud. With these sounds constantly hammering into your brain, you are bound to develop a headache. It also becomes very difficult to stay focused on work or to communicate with others in your office when overwhelmingly loud machine sounds are streaming in through all of your windows.

Music is great – when it is the type of music you love or when you are busy making or playing it. But when others around the neighbourhood or in far-off distances play loud music it can lose its appeal. The constant blare of songs that you just don’t like can be a nightmare to live with. Loud sounds and tracks with lots of bass and thundering beats can also make it very hard to focus on work or to get enough sleep at night. It is much better to drown out these noises so you can play the type of tracks that actually appeals to you.
