Ep. 995 – How Noise Took Over & How We Can Take It Back with Chris Berdik (@chrisberdik)

“It's all about thinking, not just about the noise, but about the sounds around us, those that can be an ally and a resource for us, and kind of think in a proactive way about sound. And when we are building our buildings, when we are designing our cities to design with the sound in mind” – Chris Berdik

Today’s featured author is a husband, father, Harvard graduate, and award-winning science journalist, Chris Berdik. Chris and I had a fun on a bun chat about his book, “Clamor: How Noise Took Over the World - and How We Can Take It Back”, the hidden health impacts of noise pollution, the importance of soundscape design, and more!!

Key Things You’ll Learn:

What inspired Chris to write a book about noise

How noise and air pollution often share sources and impact environmental health

The limitations of measuring noise by decibels alone and the importance of context

Why Your Ears Are Eavesdropping on Your Sleep

What Chris learned about himself after writing his 2nd book
