There’s research going back decades about the ill health effects of noise from sources such as road, rail, and air traffic, construction, workplaces, and even (although we all know that rock ‘n’ roll ain’t noise pollution) unwanted music.

All this immediately makes D.U. think of noise artists. Of course, these folks are making sounds that they want to hear, but do their bodies want to hear it too?
What do you think?
