Hark | 14 | Disquieting

Humans have filled the world with so much noise that the only sounds many of us often hear  on a daily basis are  our own. But all this sound isn’t great for our planetmates and it isn’t great for us either. In this episode, we look at how human-made sound makes it hard for other creatures to listen and communicate.
