Joseph Nechvatal's Immersion Into Noise investigates multiple aspects of cultural noise by applying our audio understanding of noise to the visual, architectual and cognative domains. The author takes the reader through phenomenal aspects of the art of noise into algorithmic and network contexts, beginning in the Abside of the Grotte de Lascaux.

The present study compared self-reports of everyday errors given by subjects who lived in an area with a high level of aircraft noise with those of a similar group who lived in an area with a low level of aircraft noise. The subjects were further subdivided into those who considered themselves to be highly sensitive to noise and those who had a lower level of noise sensitivity. The high aircraft noise group reported a higher frequency of occurrence of everyday errors and so did the noise sensitive subjects. However, there was no interaction between noise sensitivity and the level of aircraft noise.

The South Carolina Department of Transportation has formally established a policy to address the impact of highway traffic noise on people in neighborhoods, and in other noise-sensitive areas, such as churches, schools, hospitals and certain public recreational areas.
