Noise pollution threatens animals
Noisy and getting noisier
Noise pollution threatens animals
“Sounds produced by vehicles, oil and gas fields and urban sprawl interfere with the way animals communicate, mate and prey on one another.”

That is quite the handsome owl, Ken!
On the subject of noise, the Air Force is seeking to bring some new even more ear-splitting planes to Mountain Home – gotta keep the federal pork flowing ti MHAFB – and keep Singapore happy.
They want to take over more Nevada airspace, too.
I would love to see a decibel restriction imposed on Yellowstone in the summer. Too many modified custom exhausts on big trucks and motorcycles pouring insane amounts of noise into the valleys.
I have seen several of these vehicles with after market exhausts rev there engine to get a reaction out of wildlife they are passing in the park…disgusting behavior.
