Silence and Sound

Willow Belden
About this episode

Humans are noisy. The National Park Service estimates that all of our whirring, grinding, and revving machines are doubling or even tripling global noise pollution every 30 years. 

A lot of that noise is negatively affecting wildlife and human health.

In this guest episode, the team from Outside/In takes us on an exploration of three sonic landscapes: noise, silence, and something in between.
