But the most significant change in modern science is not just about the amount of noise, but how we experience it. Noise is no longer understood solely as a problem that affects hearing, it is also recognised as a systemic environmental pollutant. Transport noise is now one of the leading environmental cause of illness in Europe, second only to air pollution.

    One of my old neighbors had one. I would walk by it every day walking to the bus stop, I started flipping it off. So fucking annoying.

    I'd bring an air horn with me

    I'm so tired of assholes just ruining things for others, if it's going to happen to me then we're all going down, fuckers. I'm not going to just tolerate the bullshit and abuse anymore

    like LED headlights. if I can't see, my LED high beams are turning on so that you can't see either. I didn't start this, you did. sorry to the people behind the offending driver that I am possibly affecting but can't even see. that asshole driver will just keep doing the same thing if they don't feel any consequences.

    They're popular in my country. The camera swivels to follow you as you pass, and when someone walks by it screams over and over

    YOU ARE UNDER SURVEILLANCE

    ...which is doubly insane because only like 10% of the population understand English in this country
