- Title
Long-term cognitive effects of music as loud noise.

- Abstract
The article focuses on a research concerning the long-term cognitive effects of music as loud noise. The effects of other types of environmental noise have been investigated including industrial, traffic and aircraft noise, but the emphasis has been on the damage to hearing and effects of stress. It discusses various responses of teenagers as reflected on Very Loud Music questionnaire. The survey shows the extraordinarily important part that music play in their lives, hardly less than sport, their lesser interest in other hobbies, their astonishing knowledge of a wide range of modern music genres, and the reasons they gave for their musical tastes. Moreover, many students claim that loud background music helps them to concentrate when studying.
