00:17

the first question here Why should we be concerned about

00:19

noise impact on wildlife We're hearing provides panoramic awareness organisms

00:21

surrounding this learning senses finally survival In contrast vision hearing

00:23

01:02

No Well people guess what Noise frightens animals and sometimes

01:08

humans right Well this isn't so shocking a conclusion thie

01:11

article focuses on research of specific species and changes in

01:15

their behavior from human caused noise explaining that rising background

01:20

sound levels due to anthropogenic noise raised profound concerns The

01:25

article draws several conclusions but they all focus on the

01:28

ways that noise harms species duff they don't discuss ways

01:32

to fix the problem so get rid of the passage

01:35

does describe the ways that species use hearing Yes but

01:38

this is a sub point to the main idea Yeah

01:40

we got that right away The passage does label development

01:43

as a cause like real estate in buildings and runways

01:46

for airport but the text doesn't focus on it exclusively

01:49

So yeah we got that too It also talks about

01:51

transportation and recreation centers as big noise creators Yeah go

01:55

find a four year old on a playground and ask
