I agree with some ideas you laid out. I think there is a lot of emotional turbulence clearly being expressed through not only the type of music but lyrics and lifestyle of artists. Unfortunately, listening to such music does affect our minds in a negative way (at least those who are content with their life), and all one can do at that moment is turn the radio off. Most people eventually grow out of it after they realize the noise is really taking away their inner peace. I'm glad you have found your shelter but unfortunately society in general would need a miracle to change the pace and content of that which drives the lifestyle of general population.

It is annoying regardless of what time of day they do it...I refer to the blasting of music, as "recycled music" because I get to hear it from someone else's radio...

No, music does not effect how we live.  It may affect how we live. but it doesn't effect anything.  Go back to your dictionary.

Environmental pollution:\n=========================\nRelease of environmental contaminants, generally resulting from human activity. Carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide , chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) ,and nitrogen oxides produced by industry and motor vehicles are common air pollutants.\n\nSound Pollution:\n================================\nPresence of unwanted sound.\n\nThere are many other types of pollutions.

As I understand it, it is sound that is broadcast over a PA system (Like in an office setting), that actually neutralizes the noise that is ocurring in said office environment. It doesn't drown it out, in fact one doesn't even notice it. It is projected at a frequency that obliterates the frequency of the noise already ocurring in the room. Its supposed to help in the work environment.

Pollution is the release of chemicals, physical, biological or radioactive contaminants to the environment. The major forms of pollution include:\n\nair pollution, the release of chemicals and particulates into the atmosphere. Common examples include carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and nitrogen oxides produced by industry and motor vehicles. Ozone and smog are created as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons react to sunlight. \nwater pollution via surface runoff and leaching to groundwater. \nradioactive contamination, added in the wake of 20th-century discoveries in atomic physics. (See alpha emitters and actinides in the environment.) \nnoise pollution, which encompasses roadway noise, aircraft noise, industrial noise as well as high-intensity sonar. \nlight pollution, includes light trespass, over-illumination and astronomical interference. \nvisual pollution, which can refer to the presence of overhead power lines, motorway billboards, scarred landforms (as from strip mining), open storage of junk or municipal solid waste.

My vote would have to go to the lack of "sound pollution", the brother of "light pollution".\n\nFor instance, after midnight, most people are tucked into bed and, therefore, no one is awake to make noise. So in essence, those floor boards creak all the time while the house is settling, but you only hear it when there is no other "extra" noise.\n\nOr you could have ghosts! Hope this helps! :O

Money talks.Garbage ends up in the dump eventually.Select carefully at the supermarket.Music is like food these days...choose your product to last.And enjoy it...Pure.

You are there to learn not listen to music.

sound is particles vibrating in succesion. waves. \nthere are more particles in iron so the sound is trasnfered faster.

"Noise" is a technical term, meaning any signal with a random component. Since you can't specifically predict what the value of a noisy signal will be at a future time (as you can with, say, a since wave), you need to use probabilistic methods.\n\nNoise is not limited to sound; this is a common misapprehension.\n\nYou can use tools such as spectrum analysis to get a better picture of what the relative probabilities are of a given range of values occuring; but probability gives us a handle to make broad predictions (most likely range of values, for instance).

loud music does nothing to a person, its all the choices that person makes, its absurd when people try to blame someone else for something. during the columbine highschool incident people were blaming rock stars like marilyn manson for warping those boys. whatever happend to personal responsibility?? loud music isnt a murder weapon, music doesnt kill people, PEOPLE kill people.

This is essentially a question of definitions, i.e. how you define sound or noise. \n\nHere are the two basic answers. \n\nYes \n\nA noise is a sound and a sound is a set of vibrating molecules referred to as sound waves. If a tree falls in the forest and makes a sound, it makes molecular vibrations, or sound waves, whether any human ear drum is around to sense them or not. So yes, it makes a noise. A person hearing it is irrelevant to the being of the sound. A person hearing it is only relevant to human consciousness of the sound. \n\nAnother argument for this viewpoint is based on theology. God observes the entire universe. \n\nNo \n\nIf a tree falls, and no one is around to hear it, it does not make a noise by definition. What is noise? What is sound? One must make sure to look at this question not from such a skewed view point to realize that he or she is being misled. From an early stage in our lives, through modern science, it is FACT that sound waves are processed in our brains, thus if we are not near the sound it is just an assumption that it does make a noise. \n\nSound travels through our ears, into the canal, and into the brain to allow for it to be processed by the brain, allowing for us to differentiate due to experiences that yes, it is that particular noise. However, one would not know the sound to be that way if they cannot imagine the situation. Thus, a human being or another entity must be present to absorb the vibrations, waves, etc in order to process the information. \n\nSome take this further and claim that the whole universe does not really exist until it is observed.
