Noise from traffic is putting nearly 1 in 6 San Francisco residents at risk for heart disease, high blood pressure and other stress-related illnesses, city public health officials have found.

    • This is the least identifiable form of pollution yet remains a huge under funded problem needing financial support to implement long-overdue healthy changes that set acceptable decibel levels. I would like to see "noise footprints", similar to how they measure carbon usage, of various activities & get a discussion going of what can be done to make for a quieter world, reducing the inundation of daily noise that has proliferated in everybody’s life over the years.

      Welcome to put your link here smares! I really want to know what is going on in other localities in regards to noise and traffic. If more people expose this mess, maybe we all can find a peaceful solution for the problem. We cannot seat and expect that the solution will come from those that are taking unfair advantage of the public right now. The true fact is is that there are more corruption behind the noise issues than the regular people thinks it is.
