The Great Stress Reliever – Nature Sounds

Sound pollution in modern society vs. nature sounds of our ancestors.

Before the modern world drowned them out, nature’s sounds—like birds, insects, and running water—dominated the human experience.

Ancient people relied on these sounds to sense approaching danger, find food, and communicate. Studies suggest that modern noise pollution has rewired our brains, making us more stressed than our ancestors, who lived in a world of natural soundscapes.
