Clamor: How Noise Took Over the World and How We Can Take It Back

We want to highlight a fascinating new book by Chris Berdik, an author and environmental journalist.

This book recognises that noise is everywhere—disrupting sleep, raising stress, and wrecking focus – yet we often ignore it once it fades. In Clamor, Chris Berdik exposes noise as a hidden but harmful pollutant in our daily lives, affecting everything from childhood learning to longevity and the natural world.

By neglecting the sonic side of life, we not only amplify the chaos but also miss sound’s potential for good. Berdik introduces the researchers, rock stars, architects and many others who are reimagining how our world could sound—not just quieter, but better. Clamor is a compelling call to reconsider our relationship with noise.
