Dear Friend : In the world of today, we have to hear n o i s e everywhere. Mechanical noise. Noise from airplanes, cars, tractors, motor bikes. All kind of noise. I don't like it - a mild expression. I am trying daily to find ways to diminish noise in my surroundings. Although I live in the country side - not in a city - there is a lot of noise of cars and tractors near my cottage. Noise makes me nervous. I cannot concentrate. I am not the only one ! Many others suffer from it too. What about all the animals ! What is your opinion about noise and your reaction to it ? How do you protect yourself against noise ? How can we diminish noise in the world ? Best regards Antti
