A twenty twenty-four study titled "The Influence of Noise Level on the Stress Response of Hospitalized Cats" by Marissa Zero et al evaluated thirty-three female cats undergoing elective ovariohysterectomy and grouped them by ward noise exposure: quiet under sixty decibels, medium sixty to eighty-five decibels, and noisy over eighty-five decibels.

Stress scores, respiratory rate, and plasma cortisol tended to increase with higher noise levels and longer exposure.

I love that you'll be, you know, un- you know, you'll just be talking in such a colorful way, but then you'll dive into some, like, weird research you did about, like, here, like, noise pollution and the effect on the body, which I wanna talk about.

Um, and I just, that, that blend is just, it's...
