Abstract

Noise pollution has spread over the entire globe: from the initial rumble in the Stone age, the invention of gun powder, and a steady rise during the industrial revolution, to a global acceleration in the second half of the 20th century. Hans Slabbekoorn highlights what we know about the impact of this acoustic climate change, on humans and animals alike.
