City Noise: A Silent Threat to Heart Health

Imagine living in a city that never truly sleeps.

All the loud noises at night, like cars and trucks, can be bad for your heart.

Research shows that constant noise keeps your body from resting properly, which can cause it to release stress hormones.

These hormones make your blood pressure go up and can damage your heart over time.

This is especially true in cities where noise levels are high at night.

Things like building better walls and telling people about the problem can help protect your heart from the noise.
