Some are already used to it, but some are still bugged by it. We all have our break points, according to science our pain threshold due to noise is 137.5 decibels, that is about 200 Pascal over your ear drum.

On the other hand a serene environment produces focus, harmony, and peace. As the Chinese teaches there must be a balance between Yin and Yang.

Noise can also be an early warning device, like in ticking bombs, car alarms, fire alarms, school bell and etc. Noise are sometimes used by people for protests, knowing that noise is irritating, they conduct noise barrage, for them to be noticed.
