My morning commute taught me a weird fact about city noise
I was reading a city report while waiting for the bus last week. It said the average street corner in my town hits 70 decibels for 18 hours a day. That's as loud as a vacuum cleaner running nonstop. I always thought it was just annoying, but the report called it a real health issue. Now I notice how my head actually hurts after a long walk downtown. Has anyone else seen numbers for their area? I'm curious if it's just us.

What did the report say it does to your health exactly?
