Loud & annoying noises may be bad for your ears, but get this, they are also bad for your heart!
Being exposed to screaming children, honking cars & the construction site next door can make stress levels so high and heart health so low!
If you live or work down-town, it would be a good idea to take some quiet time for yourself every day; take a warm bath, a long walk in nature, walk the dog, or sit in a calm room & read your favorite book.
As for how loud is too loud, here are a bit of numbers:
70 or 80 decibels, like a vacuum cleaner, can damage your hearing! Less than that can cause cardiac stress!
So be careful, and enjoy any tranquil time you find!
