Noise and Sound Problems

If your child (or one in your care) complains about noises or sound, this is a quick summary of sound levels, sound frequencies and how it affects human health: https://decibelpro.app/blog/can-sound-kill-you/

As a note: 70dB to 85dB is a non-stop level in public spaces currently. A 2 hour movie can often reach 90 - 95 if not louder. 

110-124dB is the level of new hand dryers in public loos.

Electric vehicles, scooters and LEDs resonate at a piercing high frequency: wear ear plugs and defenders when near the streets - you cannot get your hearing back!

    Maybe one way to make travel more Autism friendly is that if you have the sunflower lanyard and if we can prove our Autism in some other way, we should get a free automatic upgrade to First Class on all public transport, lounges, etc in the U.K. - travelling on the ferries (and even flying) between Manchester, Chester, Holyhead, Dublin, I’ve suggested this to all the companies involved, as frankly given the hassle involved that we have to deal with all the time, we deserve to be in First Class
