00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's say good morning now to the host of home

2
00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:06.719
<v Speaker 1>on Cafi our house whisper, it's Dean Sharp morning, Dean,

3
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:10.199
<v Speaker 1>good morning, Amy. Did you notice that the sound just

4
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:11.000
<v Speaker 1>went down?

5
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I noticed that everything got quieter.

6
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So let's talk about sound in your home, because

7
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>you might not think about it much, but just you know,

8
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:23.440
<v Speaker 1>there are sound treatments that can make things great or

9
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:24.559
<v Speaker 1>not so great in the home.

10
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So, noise, noise pollution something that in recent years,

11
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:35.479
<v Speaker 2>actually we've come to understand much much better than ever before.

12
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.039
<v Speaker 2>It used to be noise was just a thing that

13
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.840
<v Speaker 2>was very subjective, right. Some people love the idea, like

14
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I love the noise of the city. I don't think

15
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.320
<v Speaker 2>I could do without it. Other people are like, no, no, no, no, no,

16
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.280
<v Speaker 2>I need it nice and quiet. And it used to,

17
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, be sort of a very very subjective thing.

18
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:58.159
<v Speaker 2>What noise was to you, noise was to me music,

19
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.840
<v Speaker 2>and vice versa. But a lot of research has happened

20
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.799
<v Speaker 2>in the last few years. The American Public Health Association

21
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.879
<v Speaker 2>has actually decided that they've changed their definition of noise

22
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:13.400
<v Speaker 2>to unwanted or harmful sounds because we now know that

23
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:17.159
<v Speaker 2>chronic noise, even at low levels, not about volume, just

24
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:26.120
<v Speaker 2>about noise can cause stress, sleep disruption, pardiovascular disease, all

25
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 2>sorts of metabolical disturbances. So it's gotten more important than

26
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.840
<v Speaker 2>ever when it comes to home construction and home life

27
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.760
<v Speaker 2>to get the noise quieted down. So Sunday we're taking

28
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.280
<v Speaker 2>a deep dive. We're going to talk about getting control

29
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:46.200
<v Speaker 2>of sound around your house. Some of it is sound proofing,

30
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.400
<v Speaker 2>some of it is being able to get inside your

31
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:51.680
<v Speaker 2>home and not hear all of what's going on outside.

32
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Other things you can't control quite as much. You may

33
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>be in your backyard and you may be near traffic noises.

34
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 2>We're going to talk about sound masking, which is overlaying

35
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.000
<v Speaker 2>one sound on top of another and giving you a

36
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 2>new point of focus so that the noise that's in

37
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 2>the background doesn't sound like noise anymore and it doesn't

38
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>affect you in the same way. It's really fascinating stuff,

39
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.719
<v Speaker 2>and it's very helpful no matter where you live.

40
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 1>So more noise could actually be better.

41
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I mean, here's an example. The sound of

42
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:28.759
<v Speaker 2>moving water, okay, of running water in your house. It

43
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:33.560
<v Speaker 2>just so happens that moving water shares most frequencies with

44
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:37.439
<v Speaker 2>the sound of traffic, right, okay, So if you lay

45
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:41.240
<v Speaker 2>over the sound of moving water in your yard and

46
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 2>there's traffic in the background, and yet now you've got

47
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 2>a water feature in which your brain actually focuses on ooh,

48
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 2>I see the water falling right there, and I hear

49
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>all of this sound. The fact of the matter is

50
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 2>it all computes as moving water. None of it computes

51
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.639
<v Speaker 2>as traffic in the background. And that is not a

52
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 2>stressor to the brain. That is a piece of stress

53
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:07.879
<v Speaker 2>relieving a sound to the brain.

54
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 1>So you flew yourself into thinking that you live by a.

55
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 2>River exactly exactly, and it's exactly one right, And and

56
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:21.919
<v Speaker 2>it's that's the difference between pleasant sounds and noise. It

57
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:26.680
<v Speaker 2>has to do with what we're conditioned to to understand

58
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:31.080
<v Speaker 2>as a stressor versus something that is pleasant and safety giving.

59
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay. And then are there different noises that correlate with

60
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:38.360
<v Speaker 1>different sounds, Like you said that there's the traffic with

61
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:41.599
<v Speaker 1>the water, is there like something else that you can like, go, oh, well,

62
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>there's birds and that goes with this sound.

63
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And birds song is not so much a mask

64
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.840
<v Speaker 2>as it is something that should be present in order

65
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.479
<v Speaker 2>for you know, to have your stress levels drop in

66
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.319
<v Speaker 2>your yard. One of the things that we're going for

67
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.719
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to a home is not one hundred

68
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:01.840
<v Speaker 2>percent sound proofing, because it has turns out that absolute

69
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:07.319
<v Speaker 2>silence not the most stress free thing to be in,

70
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:12.800
<v Speaker 2>because you and I are inheritors of millions of years

71
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.599
<v Speaker 2>of adaptation in which when we walk outside or we

72
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.439
<v Speaker 2>open up a window, we want to hear the sound

73
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.360
<v Speaker 2>of bird song, because birds are the first things to

74
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 2>go silent when there's trouble.

75
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Canary and the coal mine stuff.

76
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Exactly when there's a fire nearby, if there are predators nearby,

77
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.399
<v Speaker 2>if there's any kind of danger nearby, the birds get silent.

78
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:38.560
<v Speaker 2>And so absolute science as silence, is actually a little unnerving.

79
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.439
<v Speaker 2>So our real goal is to reduce noise, increase the

80
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>levels of sound that bring us joy, and get control

81
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.160
<v Speaker 2>of it all, whether we're inside, outside or so on.

82
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.639
<v Speaker 1>And Deane's going to tell you all about that, and

83
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.600
<v Speaker 1>as he said, take a deep dive into getting control

84
00:04:55.639 --> 00:05:00.360
<v Speaker 1>of sound. That's Sunday from nine to noon right here

85
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 1>on KFI, and then you're also on Tomorrow morning from

86
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 1>six to eight am, again right here on KFI. It's

87
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.279
<v Speaker 1>our house whisper Dean Sharp. You can also follow Dean

88
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:13.079
<v Speaker 1>at Home with Dean so easy to find you have
