Natural Sound vs. Noise
The adjoining building upgraded their HVAC system so what was once the quieter window has also become a source of continuous mechanical background noise.

“Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last”
The 59th Street Bridge Song
Good advice for a world in such a hurry. Sound over noise. Quality over obsolescence. Natural time over rat race. Sharing over hoarding. Caring over exploiting. Peace.

It’s a beautiful sunny 16°C morning and I’d like to open the windows to air out the house and bring down the humidity but the ceaseless noise of a nearby heat-pump has left me choosing quiet over open windows and a dehumidifier turned on while going out for a walk. @ottawacity

The wood-smoke pollution in winter and early spring has morphed into noise and air pollution of leaf-blowers, mowers, chainsaws and tractors.
We need to slow down — better one person raking than three blowing.
Better open windows and fresh air than noises and fumes. @ottawacity

When real estate ads fail to mention this problem, families can suffer for months each year:
In low-lying areas, stagnant conditions can allow cold air to pool and form a temperature inversion, which keeps fine particulate matter from residential wood stoves close to the ground.

A study released last month found that wood heating emits lead into the air of local communities and homes.
“The use of wood as an energy source is a relic of the past, one that should not be relived if given a choice.”

Ultrafine particles, or UFPs, are tiny, unregulated and have the potential to cause major health problems. For The National, CBC's Ashley Fraser takes a look at efforts to measure UFPs in a high-concern area in downtown Toronto, sandwiched between a busy highway and an airport.
