Aversion to screeching sounds:

  • Human ears are extra sensitive to particular frequency of sounds, this may be due to the similarity of these frequencies with sounds of cry or scream.
  • These frequencies are generally in between 2,000 to 5,000 hertz and may also cause harm to our internal ear.

Why do we have water fountains in the middle of the city?

We may think water fountains are just for beauty, but in reality they are strategically placed in the cities to control the sound pollution. Imagine yourself in a quite library, even a little sound may disturb and irritate you, but when there is a constant noise on the background, the other noises wont effect you as much, this is exactly the idea behind water fountains placed in centers of busy places.
