Noise-canceling headphones: Potential risks behind convenience

2025-11-04

Prolonged use of noise-canceling headphones may cause the brain to "forget" how to filter noise, especially during adolescence when the brain's complex auditory processing abilities are not yet fully developed. When noise-canceling headphones block out low-to-mid-frequency ambient sounds (such as traffic white noise) for extended periods, the activity of the superior temporal gyrus, the region...

Quiet Homes: Building the "Right to Quiet" from the Design Source – A New Standard for Upgrading Real Estate Quality

2025-11-04

Building sound shadow zone layout: Bedrooms and studies are placed on the side away from noise sources, while auxiliary spaces such as equipment platforms and bathrooms face the noise source, maximizing the building's self-shielding effect. Group noise reduction layout: A "dense on the outside, sparse on the inside" enclosed planning approach (such as a matrix-style building complex + a...

Why is the noise always coming from upstairs? An industry insider reveals the truth!

2025-11-04

Although there are national sound insulation standards, they are not included in the acceptance criteria for completed residential buildings, and this is not listed on the building certificate.
