Background sound levels in urban areas continue to increase relatively
unabated, and given the connections between stress levels and noise,
headphones may be more civic-minded. It's bad enough that people want
to start blasting synthesized engine sounds out of (thankfully)
quieter electric and hybrid vehicles.
just a thought
That's a fair point, and one of the reasons that I cycle to work anyway.
If I do ever get rounding to building this, I don't think I'd be likely
to use it all the time anyway - just to "impress my mates" on rare
occasions...
