Stop! Listen! What do you hear? You may hear many different sounds. Some of those sounds may be noisy. Noise is loud and unwanted sound.
Noise can be caused by many kinds of machines, such as motorcycles, jet planes, tractors and so on. And, to some people, rock bands are also noise.
What happened to people who live near noisy machines or use them over a period of time? Doctors find that these people have trouble in sleeping, But, most important, constant loud noise can cause a loss of hearing.
Scientists use a unit of measure called a decibel to measure the loudness of a sound. The sound of a quiet room, for example, measures 35 decibels. Talking measures between 40 and 65 decibels. Sounds from traffic and from some rock bands can measure over 120 decibels. Noise at this high level causes the greatest hearing loss.
