In everyday society, so many people are stressed by endless sources of noise: 50 or 60 Hertz hum from mains appliances, high pitched noises from various mechanical devices, etc. And even the optical noise is hard to avoid: aside from the useful information on all our screens there is the constant hum of the screen update frequency.
