The Unbearable Menace Airport Noise Ehs News James Mcc A Roll 09/72 Vol 20 9 Spl SP Sst
Director: James McCarroll, M.D. Editor: Peter A. Breysse, M.S., M.P.H. Sept., Oct., Nov., Dec. 1972 . Vo 1 ume 20, Nos. 9, 1 0, 11 , 12 THE UNBEARABLE MENACE -- AIRPORT NOISE Noise, defined as unwanted sound, surrounds the urban dweller in a never-ending excessive and gradually increasing din of decibels.

Pitch- a high pitch noise is generally more annoying than… -
