Watch these two videos with our Quiet Coalition colleague, Professor Rick Neitzel, University of Michigan. In one video, he’s does some interesting noise-exposure work with a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reporter in a news segment that aired recently:
The loudest sounds to which this reporter was exposed over the course of a full day were in restaurants during lunch and dinner! It certainly looks like the restaurant noise problem is gaining public attention.
In the other video, he’s announcing a very exciting new research project for which he’s received funding from Apple:
This study will use Apple’s new sound-exposure app on the iWatch & iPhone.
Congratulations, Prof. Neitzel!
