The Essential Guide to Sound & Noise Sensitivity
Comprehensive guides and resources on noise sensitivity, hearing wellness, and creating audio inclusive environments.
What is noise sensitivity?
Noise sensitivity is a heightened responsiveness to sound that goes beyond typical reactions to loud or unpleasant noises. It's a condition where individuals experience stronger psychological and physiological responses to everyday sounds that others might barely notice. Unlike simple noise annoyance, noise sensitivity involves a complex interplay of auditory perception, emotional processing, and stress responses that can significantly impact daily life.
Noise Monitoring: The Science and Practice of Managing Sound in Our Environments
Noise monitoring represents a critical discipline in creating healthier, more productive environments for the 30% of the population affected by noise sensitivity. Whether implementing workplace noise monitoring programmes, selecting appropriate noise monitoring equipment, or establishing noise level monitoring protocols, organisations can transform acoustic environments from sources of stress into spaces that support wellbeing. At Sownd Affects, we're pioneering comprehensive noise monitoring approaches that go beyond simple decibel readings to understand the full impact of sound on human health, productivity, and quality of life.
