Protection against Sound and Noise

When we look into the sun, we closed our eyes, protecting them from the bright light. We cannot close our ears nor disconnect them; it is not possible to protect them from the noise as they are always open and never rest.

When the noise reaches the nerves, stress is produced followed by irritability, nervousness and aggressiveness. When exposed to a high and ongoing noise, the body, in spite of being accustomed to it, reacts and the organism can produce vegetative damages. A strong noise day after day or night after night affects the health. The influence of nocturnal noise produces even greater damages than the daily one.

During our sleep, even very low level sounds produce stress reactions, which means, high hormonal distortions for which a higher level of noise would be necessary when being awake.

The effects of noise are:

• Disturbance of sleep
• Affects recovery and relaxation
• Interferes with communication
• Reduction of concentration
• Diminishes the learn and yield capacity
• Weakening of the mood
• Gradually increases hearing defects up to deafness
• Narrowing of the blood vessels and premature aging of the coronary arteries as well as an increased magnesium segregation
• A chronic elevation of cortisone due this stress factor represents a high risk of stomach, intestinal and heart diseases
