Life gets noisier every day and very f people can be free from noise of some kind or another. W
you live in the centre of a modern city or a village far away, the chances that you will be disturbed by planes, cars, radios are almost everywhere. We seem to be used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely w

in the level of noise really affects people’s attention. It goes on to say that a background noise, which doesn’t change too much, may even help people to pay attention.

to the “good old days” of peace and quiet, but we can make less noise if we shout loudly enough about it.
