Again, two agencies deal directly with this issue: Noise Pollution
Clearing House (Les Bloomberg up there somewhere in Vermont), and
Quiet Down America! (Kat Krause up here somewhere in California),
both dealing directly with awareness and legislation issues related
to different aspects of noise. The first, NPCH, deals w/ urban noise.
The second, QDA, deals with the effect of anthropogenic noise on
wildlife biophony and the human effect on those who wish to hear
creature voices unimpaired.
