7 sound effects on health

Sounds around you not only broke the silence but some might enliven the day. Voices were unable to escape from everyday life, begin to sound vehicle, music, sounds of people talking even to the voices of people mumbling could not escape from the hearing. But the fact is, these voices have effects to the physical and psychological health.

Pioneer researcher and psychologist sound environment, Arline Bronzaft, from City University of New York said, "when the ear captures sound and wave and then send it to the lobes of the temporalis, to the process of interpretation, the brain will determine whether the sound unpleasant, undesirable or interfere with."

The following seven ways how sound can have an impact on a person's physical and mental health.

1. impact on children's learning ability.

In a classic study of the sound level and the learning process, the researchers observed the children in two grade levels of elementary school in Inwood, New York. The elementary school is adjacent to the railway line. These children are divided into two groups. One group was placed in classrooms facing the railway line, while the other group is placed in a more quiet room in the school building.

According to the leader of the research, Bronzaft, a voice around the neighborhood school quite interfere with teachers. Teachers can only use 11 percent of his time to teaching in noisy classrooms. To add to the evidence of how the learning process with voice, Bronzafit return to the classroom after the busy hours among working. Researchers also add sound from the roof panel repair school. He found, students ' reading skills are balanced in the two classrooms.

But the latest research showed a link between the academic and developmental delays with noise around grounding airplanes, railways are also toll roads. Research result WHO demonstrate the kids who live close to the noisy sound transportation, have cognitive and language proficiency are lower. The value of reading them is also lower.

2. work less productive.

In a recent article in The New Yorker about open Office plans, Maria Konnikova reveals 70 percent of Office has an open floor plan. This architectural trend turned out to carry the impact of bad for health, began to spread of the disease, the lack of control over the environment, and decrease in productivity due to the surrounding noises.

The researchers also found that a mix of sounds from the open plan office concept hinders the ability of employees to remember information and perform basic tasks, such as arithmetic. The reason, employees not only disturbed voices in open Office but also began to stress arising from these conditions.

In an open Office simulation laboratory studies, the researchers found higher levels of epinephrine workers. The respondent then asked to solve a series of puzzles. As a result, they were only able to complete the puzzles a bit, showed a decline in motivation.

3. risk of disease is high.

According to a report of the WHO and the Commission of European Research on 2011, excessive exposure to noise of transportation such as trains or aircraft grounding, increases the risk of high blood pressure and heart attacks.

4. Hindering multitasking.

In this work, the multitasking could not be avoided. According to cognitive neuroscience scholar Stanford University, Anthony Wagner, the moment we're doing many tasks at once in a while, we are less able to block out distractions. Well, when the Office is filled with sounds of noisy, even harming the people who would have difficulty multitasking concentrating with his work especially to remember his duty before the disorder emerges.

5. the music is always good.

A lot of people listen to music to overcome distractions interfere with surrounding sound. Unfortunately, this is not always good. The music might be able to improve mood and make you more secure. However, listening to music can actually reduce the ability to capture information or remember. Thus, listening to music that doesn't suit can improve memory.

6. No self pity.

In the studies that relate between an open Office concept with the stress, the researchers found women who work in a noisy Office less often correct sitting position more ergonomics compared to those working in silence. Noisy work environments contribute to health problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome and lower back pain, because workers are less noticed her physical complaints or needs that emerged are often overlooked.

7. Trigger fear and anxiety

You may not believe in ghosts, but sometimes you goose bumps while on certain conditions or in certain rooms. Researchers in the United Kingdom said there is some evidence to suggest that infrared sound or sounds
