Dr. Clinton Francis is a sensory ecologist who studies how noise pollution affects birds, like this Black-headed Grosbeak. On the Bring Birds Back podcast, Clinton explains how sounds produced by human infrastructure can really disrupt bird behavior. Although birds rely on hearing to sense predators and prey, and to find mates, their sense of hearing isn't very good, making them very sensitive to noise pollution from machines and vehicles. Fortunately, there are many ways to help birds by reducing noise pollution. Learn more in season 5 of our long-form show, Bring Birds Back. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.

In this two-parter, we start with Detroit's birds and end with Detroiters eating dessert. Science and snacks, basically. First up, we talk with University of Michigan alum and Defenders of Wildlife science and policy analyst Natalie Madden about a new meta-analysis on how urban noise affects birds. They get into what a "study of studies" actually is, why everyday city sounds can mess with bird communication, nesting, growth and reproduction, and what planners and policymakers can do to turn down the volume so common species like robins and sparrows can actually thrive in metro Detroit. Then we head back to the studio for a taste test: producer Shianne Nocerini and Big Lucci Marcon join me at the table to try Hudsonville's new Little Debbie-inspired ice cream sandwiches — Cosmic Brownie and Oatmeal Cream Pie. They rate, debate and rank which one deserves freezer space, with plenty of sugar, carbs and opinions along the way.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-26-2026: li> Dr. Dawn announces a UCSF study recruiting participants for psilocybin therapy to help patients cope with chronic low back pain, requiring ages 25-70 with failed prior treatments. A caller preparing for bladder stone surgery asks about avoiding a repeat of severe post-anesthesia disorientation. Dr. Dawn recommends pharmacogenomic testing through 3x4 Genetics to identify slow acetylator status and other detoxification enzyme variants that can guide anesthesiologists toward better drug choices. A clinical trial found that 24 minutes of music with binaural beats—where slightly offset audio in each ear generates synchronized brainwaves—significantly reduced anxiety in medicated patients. Dr. Dawn encourages trying this accessible, low-risk intervention. Chronic noise exposure triggers oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction, increasing cardiovascular disease risk. Data centers and server farms are emerging noise pollution sources, and Dr. Dawn recommends affordable noise-canceling headphones as a health investment. A Crohn's patient in Switzerland reports alarming neurological symptoms including speech arrest with preserved awareness and transient visual disturbances. He is having trouble finding any Functional Medicine trained physician and Dr. Dawn recommends emailing to info@ifm.org. Furthermore, Dr. Dawn suspects possible seizure activity from brain inflammation and recommends pursuing a sleep-deprived EEG and MRI through a neurology referral. MIT researchers discovered Interlectin-2, a protein that both strengthens the mucus barrier by cross-linking mucins and directly traps and kills pathogens like Salmonella and Shigella. Imbalanced levels may contribute to inflammatory bowel disease. Synthetic versions may be an effective treatment for inflammatory bowel disease. A 33-year-old man survived 48 hours without lungs after flu-triggered bacterial pneumonia caused ARDS and multiple organ failure. Surgeons removed both lungs treat septic shock while ECMO (extracorporeal oxygenation)sustained him until a successful double lung transplant. A meta-analysis of 43 studies involving millions of births found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy increases autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability risk, contradicting recent political claims. Green tea contains about 30% more L-theanine than black tea, with studies showing 200mg daily improves verbal fluency, sleep quality, and reduces anxiety. Decaffeinated green tea retains full theanine content. Pop star Robbie Williams developed scurvy while on GLP-1 weight loss drugs, highlighting that only 2 of 40+ major GLP-1 trials assessed vitamin intake. Dr. Dawn urges anyone on these medications to take a comprehensive multivitamin.

Clearing Noise Pollution is about learning how to recognize and silence the wrong voices that get louder in seasons of uncertainty and delay. Using Exodus 32, we explore how fear and confusion can push people to build substitutes for God when they stop listening for His voice. It's a call to decisive alignment cutting off false influences and step forward fully on the Lord's side.

Episode Summary: In this episode of "90 Miles from Needles: The Desert Protection Podcast," host Chris Clarke takes a moment to reflect on the challenges the desert has faced throughout the year. As 2026 looms with potential political upheavals, industrial intrusions, and environmental crises, he underscores the fragility and beauty of the North American deserts. Chris discusses the concept of desert quiet, a theme reflecting not only the absence of noise but the presence of life, and how human impact slowly erodes this natural soundscape. The show examines the consequences of noise pollution, highlighting the invisible wounds inflicted on the desert soundscape by human activities. Chris emphasizes the critical importance of listening to and preserving the desert's unique quiet and sound ecology. He shines a light on efforts by various advocates to protect these ecosystems and urges for increased support for the podcast to continue this vital work. As external pressures mount, the episode appeals to listeners and potential donors to contribute to the ongoing fight to conserve the desert, focusing on actionable ways to make a difference. Key Takeaways: The desert's soundscape is threatened by human-induced noise pollution, which can drive wildlife away and disrupt ecosystems. Observing and preserving the desert quiet is essential for maintaining the region's ecological health and vitality. Increasing public awareness and support is needed to preserve the desert’s unique ecosystems and prevent corporate exploitation. Contributions and engagement from listeners are crucial for continuing the podcast’s mission to protect the desert. Notable Quotes: "The desert has always been quiet, but I've been hearing a different kind of quiet." "We're living in a desert that is depauperate of the creatures that formed it." "Noise is one of the least recognized forms of pollution we create, and we create a lot of it." "When I stand in the stillness now, I listen for ghosts. Echoes of wings, vanished choruses, voices the desert used to carry." "If we want to keep the ones that remain or restore the ones that we still can restore, the first thing we have to do is listen."

North Atlantic right whales are nearing extinction, with fewer than 400 left in the world. We know what is killing them: getting hit by shipping boats, entangled in fishing lines and the impacts of climate change — which is changing the location of their food sources. But now, researchers think that human-made noise in the ocean may be having an effect too.Jenn Thornhill Verma is an environmental journalist who has been reporting on the plight of the North Atlantic right whale as part of her Entangled series for The Globe and Mail, in partnership with the Pulitzer Center's Ocean Reporting Network. She explains how scientists are starting to understand how these whales communicate and how loud noises we're making may be driving them closer to extinction.Some of the sounds from today's episode were provided by Syracuse University, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the New England Aquarium and NOAA, the National and Atmospheric Administration in the U.S.Underwater animal and environmental sounds courtesy of NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).

xcess noise has been linked to a number of health concerns, including cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and sleep disorders. But noise pollution hasn’t been well studied in the U.S., due in part to a lack of federal oversight. The Environmental Protection Agency established its Office of Noise Control and Abatement in the 1970s, but the office has remained unfunded since the early 1980s. A new study from Oregon State University aims to better understand noise pollution in Portland. Researchers found that many of the city’s neighborhoods have noise levels that are likely unhealthy. Matt Bozigar is an environmental epidemiologist and an assistant professor in OSU’s college of health. He joins us with more details.
A new study from local researchers connects transportation noise to serious health problems and higher poverty rates.

Mit "Back In Black" haben sich AC/DC 1980 nach dem Tod von Bon Scott zurückgemeldet und Brian Johnson als neuen Sänger der Band vorgestellt. Mit dem Album "Back In Black" und dem neuen Sänger Brian Johnson trauern AC/DC um ihren verstorbenen Frontmann Bon Scott, feiern mit den Songs des Albums aber auch das Leben und den Rock'n'Roll-Lifestyle. Und obwohl AC/DC vor diesem Album gerade erst ihren charismatischen Frontmann verloren hatten, mit dem die australischen Hardrocker damals den Durchbruch geschafft hatten, ist es "Back in Black", das zum (kommerziell) erfolgreichsten Album der Band wurde. Aber nicht nur das – "Back In Black" ist nach Michael Jacksons "Thriller" auch das zweitmeistverkaufte Album aller Zeiten. Über 50 Millionen Einheiten sollen von dem Album über den Ladentisch gegangen sein. Ganz besonders ist bei "Back In Black" natürlich auch die Gitarrenarbeit und der Gitarrensound der beiden Brüder Angus und Malcolm Young. Und was für viele Laien oft ganz einfach wirkt, ist es natürlich nicht. Es geht dabei um ganz viele Feinheiten. Von der Auswahl der unterschiedlichen Gitarren über Verstärker bis hin zur Wahl der Gitarrensaiten von Angus und Malcolm. Alles ist haargenau auf die jeweilige Rolle der beiden Brüder innerhalb der Band abgestimmt. Malcolm macht den Druck und die Power hinten und das bissige und verzerrte, darum kümmert sich Angus. Und diese unterschiedlichen Rollen sind auch im Mix auf dem Album genau aufgeteilt. Und auch beim Songwriting sind die Elemente und auch die Anschlagtechniken von Malcolm und Angus sehr fein aufeinander abgestimmt, erklärt Musikredakteur und Gitarrenexperte Stephan Fahrig im Podcast. Das kommerziell erfolgreichste Hardrockalbum aller Zeiten hat natürlich auch Spuren in der Musikgeschichte hinterlassen – und zwar sehr tiefe, wie Musikredakteurin Katharina Heinius im Podcast erzählt: "Sie (AC/DC) sind das Vorbild vieler, vieler Hardrockbands geworden – auch mit diesem Album. Sie haben auch einen Sound geprägt und sie haben den Sound auch durchgezogen. Wenn jemand fragt: Was ist [...] Hardrock? 100% "Back In Black"!" __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Back In Black" wird im Podcast gesprochen: (23:13) – "Hells Bells"(37:05) – "Shoot To Thrill"(48:45) – "Back In Black"(01:03:12) – "You Shook Me All Night Long"(01:10:44) – "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" __________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge: https://1.ard.de/acdc-back-in-black __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

From beached whales to human heart disease, noise pollution is worse than we thought. Jessica Wynn sounds the alarm here on Skeptical Sunday! On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss: Noise pollution is significantly more harmful than commonly recognized, contributing to approximately 48,000 new cases of heart disease in Europe annually and ranking second only to air pollution as the most harmful environmental exposure to public health. The impact on wildlife is severe — noise pollution disrupts animal communication, breeding patterns, and navigation, particularly affecting marine life. For example, increased shipping noise has led to whale beachings and is threatening species like the Narwhal with extinction. Noise pollution disproportionately affects low-income communities, who often live near flight paths, highways, and factories, with limited options for relocation despite the serious health impacts. The US has largely abandoned federal noise control efforts since 1981 when the Reagan administration defunded the Office of Noise Abatement and Control, leaving communities without comprehensive protection against harmful noise levels. There are several effective ways individuals and communities can take action against noise pollution: supporting local noise ordinances, using quieter electric alternatives to gas-powered equipment, incorporating sound barriers in construction projects, and being mindful of our own noise contributions. Small changes in our daily habits can help create quieter, healthier environments for everyone. Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

When's the last time you were in a place that was quiet — really quiet? No roadway noise, construction work or even the hum of a refrigerator. Our world is full of sounds, some of which are harming our health. The World Health Organization says "noise is an underestimated threat." Today, host Emily Kwong talks to health reporter Joanne Silberner about those health costs, what is too loud and some of the history of legislation to limit noise pollution in the United States.Read Joanne's full article in Undark Magazine here.Curious about other health stories?

From roaring leaf blowers to screeching trains, the world is full of unwelcome noise – and researchers have found that noisy environments can take a real toll on people's mental and physical health. Arline Bronzaft, PhD, talks about how noise affects health and well-being, how it can harm kids' learning, why it's not just a problem in big cities, and the most unusual noise complaints she's heard in her five decades of advocacy combating noise pollution.
Dr. Clinton Francis is a sensory ecologist who studies how noise pollution affects birds, like this Black-headed Grosbeak. He says sounds from machines and vehicles can really disrupt bird behavior. Although birds rely on hearing to sense predators and prey, and to find mates, their sense of hearing isn't very good, making them very sensitive to noise pollution from machines and vehicles. Fortunately, there are many ways to help birds by reducing noise pollution.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
