00:09

to give out this one's actually pretty interesting So let's

00:11

go back and read it or skim it and do

00:14

some stuff think about it because that will relate to

00:17

the first question here Why should we be concerned about

00:19

noise impact on wildlife We're hearing provides panoramic awareness organisms

00:21

surrounding this learning senses finally survival In contrast vision hearing

00:23

and will continue to function while sleeping with evolution reinforces

00:25

00:27

00:29

bit here while hearing on certain about intention localization values

00:31

remain important purpose the crucible he was like on the

00:33

role of sexual condition you know you don't want to

00:35

talk about anthropogenic noise It was that prevented me but

00:37

we'll get a lot of protection that we heard about

00:39

it And unfortunately i don't know what you're talking about

00:41

the course and we're talking to people letting everyone hearing

00:43

loss in my little talking with everyone What is our

00:44

first finalist from under Some sort of ok bad behavior

00:46

questions The main purpose of the passages To do what

01:02

No Well people guess what Noise frightens animals and sometimes

01:08

humans right Well this isn't so shocking a conclusion thie

01:11

article focuses on research of specific species and changes in

01:15

their behavior from human caused noise explaining that rising background

01:20

sound levels due to anthropogenic noise raised profound concerns The

01:25

article draws several conclusions but they all focus on the

01:28

ways that noise harms species duff they don't discuss ways

01:32

to fix the problem so get rid of the passage

01:35

does describe the ways that species use hearing Yes but

01:38

this is a sub point to the main idea Yeah

01:40

we got that right away The passage does label development

01:43

as a cause like real estate in buildings and runways

01:46

for airport but the text doesn't focus on it exclusively

01:49

So yeah we got that too It also talks about

01:51

transportation and recreation centers as big noise creators Yeah go

01:55

find a four year old on a playground and ask
