New York City is home to 8 million people and is constantly bustling with life, to the point where there never seems to be any real quiet in the city. This project focused on examining how noise pollution impacted the health of the human and animal population in New York City. Much of NYC was above the recommended safety level of 70dB set by the EPA and peaked in areas like Midtown around 95 dB. Contrary to popular belief, many of the city’s parks do not provide any refuge from the noise, with many pocket parks (small public parks in more commercial areas) showing no signs of reduced noise levels and even Central Park having excessive noise levels. Most of our research focused above 70dB, which found that those noise levels caused a multitude of health problems in people while also impacting bat communication abilities and the development of birds, leaving them with impaired flight.
