A study done in 2009 showed that “NR [noise reduction] reduces listening effort and frees up cognitive resources for other tasks.” (Sarampalis, A., Kalluri, S., Edwards, B., & Hafter, E., 2009). Studies also show that “low frequency noise at levels normally occurring in office-like environments may influence work performance and subjective perception of annoyance and lead to work impairment.” (Waye, K., Bengtsson, J., Kjellberg, A., & Benton, S., 2001). It is also very common for people to listen to music while driving and if they don’t listen to music there is outside noise, such as traffic that can affect the way they react and perform. A study done in 2015 on “the effect of road traffic noise on reaction time” showed that even “exposure to traffic noise leads to increase in reaction time.” (Alimohammadi, I., Zokaei, M., & Sandrock, S., 2015). These studies show that even while people may not recognize that noise is affecting them it is and it can be causing problems while they don’t even think
Noise can be very distracting especially if someone wants to study, sleep, read, do homework, and do a project or anything else. I personally have experienced noise as a distraction and I would never intentionally try to distract someone from doing what they want buy making it hard for them to focus because of my noise.
The author uses the narrative style of writing in this text. Narrative non-fiction is character-driven storytelling. Steve Lillebuen firmly believed that the victim, Johnny Altinger, deserved to be a major focus in the text. The author focused on how he lived including his tragic death. Narrative requires more research than traditional reportage, for writers cannot simply tell what they learn and know; rather, they must show it.
On April 4th, 2001, a young man named Ryan Judge was born in a hospital in Munster, Indiana. I haven’t always lived in Lowell, in fact for the first year of my life, I lived in Cedar Lake. When I turned about one year old, my family moved to lowell. I can’t remember anything really important in the years before school, being that I was so young. When I started school, it was quite weird actually. Going to a place to learn, for seven hours a day. I started to notice how small I was when I saw the other kids. For some reason, they were all taller than me. Most people would think that I was bullied for this reason, but I never was. It has never really become an issue in my life, because of one thing. Even when I was younger, I loved to make people laugh. It
Hello all. Sean Gross is the name, architecture is the game. I have been in the Bachelor of Architecture program at BAC for three semesters, this being the fourth. I was born in Georgia, the state not the country and after completing high school there I decided to venture up to Boston for college. An interesting thing about myself is that unlike most who pursued sports during their early schooling, I instead took Martial Arts, progressing through the belt ranks over the course of twelve years. Though I consider myself to be well versed, there is still room for improvement in the realm of speaking publicly to other individuals.
One day I was in class and a tornado erupted 17 miles away. Alex Ogle and William Burnett went outside with me and somebody came by and picked us up and dropped us off on an island. We were stranded on an island. We were safe until the tornado was over.
There are many causes of this problem. One is that the noise can hurt your ears and distract you. Which leads to pain and loss of concentration.
I am a piece of an American family, and we are noisy, yet in some cases they simply don't know when to calm down. In the event that i am attempting to do homework and my father is impacting music its pretty diverting. An approach to fathom this is have two or three hours in the day where its noiseless so we can do our
Norman took a deep breath. It hadn't been easy, coming to terms with himself, but he figured it out. The only person he had told was Neil, his theatre friends, Coraline, and his sister, but now he was sitting in front of the computer with cold feet. "You can do it Norman! I believe in you," Neil roughly punched Norman on the shoulder. He let out a groan.
I am grateful for Bella. We both play this game called, township, and she often help me on there. She either give me supplies I requested, or help both of us earn reward in competition. She is also able to makes the game playing experience more enjoyable. In addition, one time, I have only until 15 minutes until my challenge is over. However, I cannot produce the product needed within the timeframe. Bella was there to make a last minute “delivery”.
Ryan Davis is my best friend for many reasons. Ryan is 13 years old and loves to play with nerf guns. You should see his collection and how many bullets he has. Let me just tell you that he has a lot of them. He also pretends that they are real and like he is in an actual war. In his backyard he has these boulder type things that he uses to play. Whenever I go to his house we always go outside with nerf guns and have a nerf war. Ryan is important to me because his parents are nice to me and my family, and Ryan is nice to me and my family. They help us out a lot, whether it be taking me somewhere when my parents are at work,or taking me to his house to hang out. One thing we also always do whenever I go to his house is we jump on his trampoline.
In November my sister Brandie came down to my house. Brianna and I got our items. Then I had walked outside with the items and taken all of it to the car. I went back in then we had to say our good-byes to our endeared idolised mother.

What seemed like a normal day for Jeff Stanley, but little did he know there would be a terrorist attack. He went to work in the south tower when all the sudden there was an explosion at the north tower. He rushed to help others out when they got ordered to evacuate.
Burley-Allen (1995) acknowledges that noise pollution encompasses all the factors that make us distracted from listening effectively and actively at Level 1.
