I notice that since Peating - I notice "stressors" a lot more - I cannot stand being around a construction site - hearing the sound of a jackhammer or a drill sends me to disarray or someone hammering really stresses me out
I also notice that if I'm in a party-like environment - where the speakers are usually turned up - that really stresses me out - I am also assuming because the sound is stressful in itself and that more EMF is produced when you turn the volume on the speakers up
"Noise triggers a stress response in the amygdala, a region of the brainstem. Our amygdala learns, over time, what sounds might signal impending danger. When one is detected, the amygdala triggers a release of cortisol (a stress hormone) and an involuntary startle reaction. In his book, The Universal Sense: How Hearing Shapes the Mind, neuroscientist Seth Horowitz explains, “The auditory startle circuit is a very successful evolutionary adaptation to an unseen event. It lets us get our bearings and get the hell out of there, or at least widen our attention to figure out what the noise was.”"
"Stressor exposure activates several physiological pathways that may be implicated in some of the purported health effects observed in individuals who are exposed to relatively high levels of environmental noise for several years, especially those that involve the cardiovascular system.[1,2,3] These pathways include alterations in the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis with a consequent increase in adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol (corticosterone in rodents);[4,5,6] others have shown rats habituate to loud noises as evidenced by a gradual return to baseline in corticosterone levels by the fourth day of exposure.[7] Similarly, pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin 1 (IL-1), tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin 6 (IL-6) have been implicated in the stress response.[4,8,9]"
I notice many of the train workers in my city all instinctively wear eat plugs as the trains in my city tend to be pretty loud especially if one is spending time in one the whole day - I notice my metabolic rate lowers when I enter the train and I assume it is a combination of the horrendous lighting, EMF from the rails, and the loud noises the train makes while moving - shooting up cortisol
But concerning ear plugs - is it an issue that it pushes ear wax into the ear ? Maybe there is a safer way to go about it when being in an environment where loud sound is produced such as a train
"Over time, earplugs can push earwax back into your ear, causing a buildup. This can cause several problems, including temporary hearing loss and tinnitus. To clear the wax, you'll need to either use ear drops to soften it or have it removed by your doctor."
I think the safest thing to do would be to live away from large cities where noise pollution is extensive and possibly even building noise-resistant rooms in a home
"The present preference study revealed that rats were able to distinguish between different sound patterns. They showed a clear preference for silence to anything else, which may be taken as an indication that they feel disturbed by the sound from the speaker."

Chronic Noise Exposure in the Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat
Epidemiological studies have suggested an association between the relative risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and long-term exposure to elevated levels of transportation noise. The contention is that this association is largely owing to ...
