Noise Pollution in San Francisco Could be Harmful to your Health!

One of the things you won’t notice (or notice if you just moved here) is the noise in San Francisco from Ambulances, cars, etc…etc…

Although I have gotten used to it, I guess it could be fatal for your health if you live in highly-populated downtown areas.

My suggestion, move nearer to the ocean like I did, near the Sunset district where Ocean wave sounds are more common.

Traffic noise is loudest in the South of Market area but affects the most people in the densely populated Chinatown, Civic Center and Tenderloin neighborhoods.

“Traffic,” Rivard noted, “is the No. 1 contributor to the ambient noise level” in San Francisco.

But the constant hum from congestion is just one of many sounds that environmental health researchers find troubling. They’re also concerned about racket from such sources as sirens, trains and exhaust fans.
