Chronic exposure to noise that falls below decibel-based thresholds--sometimes even below our conscious awareness--is linked to spikes in the risk of heart disease and other serious health ailments that contribute to premature death. Noisy classrooms hinder developing minds and delay cognitive milestones. In forests and in the depths of the ocean, a cacophony of manmade sound disrupts the natural soundscape, threatening animals' capacity to communicate, hunt, and flee predators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet in the battle against noise, sound doesn't have to be our enemy: Berdik introduces us to the researchers, rock stars, architects, and many others who are finding surprising ways to make our world sound not only less bad, but better.
