THE PROBLEM

GROWING HAZARD:

URBAN NOISE POLLUTION

​

• More than half of the world’s population now lives in cities, and that number is growing daily.

• Health impacts of noise are the physical and psychological health consequences of regular exposure to consistent elevated sound levels.

  • Elevated workplace and  environmental noise can cause permanent hearing loss, hypertension, heart disease, sleep disturbance and has even been linked to Alzheimer's and Dementia.

• Regions across the globe are targeting noise pollution as a true environmental health hazard.

• Noise pollution costs our economies billions of dollars annually*

  • analyses suggest that a 5 dB noise reduction would reduce hypertension by 1.4% and coronary heart disease by 1.8%. The annual economic benefit is estimated at $3.9 billion

CURRENT SOLUTIONS FALL SHORT

Current Alternatives:

​

• Traditional solutions are not very effective: building things bigger, thicker, taller has been the “solution” for decades and they are generally intrusive and eye sores.

• Even the most advanced noise control solutions are NOT SCALABLE – providing protection for ONLY ONE PERSON AT A TIME.
