| Noise is an emitted and transmitted energy wave. Other similar examples are; radioactive radiation, electric magnetic radiation, microwave radiation. Even though we can not see it or hold it, after it is emitted and transmitted into the air, these harmful waves, scientifically called "signals" or "matter waves", exists independently of anyone's perception or their auditive capacity for hearing it. For students wishing to learn more, perform a search on "matter waves, atomic structure, quantum field theory, quantum optics, Bohr mode, Louis de Broglie, Rutherford's, Schrödinger, Newton, Einstein, Max Planck, R.A. Millikan". |
| Noise being an invasive and invisible wave, can penetrate thru walls, targeting everything along its perimeter causing suffering to humans, animals and amphibians. |
| Sources of noise in our environment today come mainly from transportation vehicles of all types, such as motorcycles, cars, trucks, buses and even bicycles with poor brakes. In our so called modern society technology have advanced so rapidly and the general greedy idea to make money from everything gains preferences over human lives. Therefore these things are left unattended even knowing that these instruments and gadgets of noise can cause disturbance, harm, and suffering to others. |
