Have you noticed the noise-level of your surroundings recently?
According to Michael Easter and various studies he cites in his book "The Comfort Crisis" the noisier our environments become, the worse off we are:
"Research shows antianxiety medication use rises a relative 28 percent for every 10-decibel increase a neighborhood experiences, and people who live near loud roads are 25 percent more likely to be depressed."
"Other research found that two minutes of silence led to the bigger drops in measures of relaxation like blood pressure and heart and breathing rate compared to a handful of other relaxation techniques."
