Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.
Although noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognized form of pollution, it is
very difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different individuals is highly subjective
and, therefore, variable. Exposure to lower levels of noise may be slightly irritating, whereas exposure to
higher levels may actually cause hearing loss. Particularly in congested urban areas, the noise produced as
a by-product of our advancing technology causes physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the
quality of life for those who are exposed to it.
Unlike the eyes, which can be covered by the eyelids against strong light, the ear has no lid, and is,
therefore, always open and vulnerable; noise penetrates without protection. Noise causes effects that the
hearer cannot control and to which the body never becomes accustomed. Loud noises instinctively signal
danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. In response, heartbeat and
respiration accelerate, blood vessels constrict, the skin pales, and muscles tense. In fact, there is a general
increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear, and some of
these responses persist even longer than the noise, occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound
has ceased.
