A Brief History of Noise
Noise is not a new problem to society.
Since the first clap of thunder, noise has been plaguing mankind's existence.
There was reportedly an ordinance enacted some 2,500 years ago by an ancient Greek community banning metal works and banning roosters within the city, to protect against noise that caused sleep deprivation.
Over the past 200 years, there has been a steady increase in the magnitude of noise, changing the nature and extent of the problem from that of primarily a nuisance to one of annoyance and actual physical damage.
D.H., - "Many years ago I worked at United Airlines and had form fitted earplugs made by Hocks. I am now retired but still wear them when I'm doing noisy woodworking and chainsaw work. I guess I could be a TV promo person for these earplugs! I still have great hearing, even after years of working in noisy environments. My regards, and I compliment your customer relations."
