Noise
Sir, —Heavy sarcasm aids no-one suffering noise sickness, an ailment recognised medically abroad, if not here. Irremediable ear troubles arise from factory and mechanical sound. Until these facts are considered in city planning and in building with materials designed for insulation and protection of delicate brain and hearing mechanisms and tissues, anyone may fall victim to noise, the modern menace here. Children and animals can be trained in orderly behaviour and consideration for others without undue curtailment of enjoyment or healthy natural exuberance. More attention to speech and voice production in modulation might render adults’ speech less jarring in public and at home among friends. Fewer shrilling infants might result from harmonious home environment. Auckland controls may inaugurate reforms.— Yours, etc., HURRAH AUCKLAND. March 20, 1961.
