Noise from traffic stunts growth of baby birds, study finds
Briefly

Noise pollution from traffic affects unhatched bird embryos and hatchlings, leading to long-term negative health and reproductive consequences.
Exposure to city traffic noises during bird embryo development leads to reduced hatching rate, smaller size, lighter weight, and cellular changes impacting stress and age.
Effects of noise pollution persist even after exposure stops, impacting bird reproduction and offspring production significantly as observed over four years.
