For this CLT discussion you are asked to engage in active listening and reflect on how you respond to this.
Noise generates a stress response in the amygdala, which learns over time that danger may be approaching, triggering a release of cortisol. When we think about the word “noise” we often imagine negative sounds but what about positive or soothing sounds? How might they affect our cortisol levels, norepinephrine, epinephrine and ultimately affect heart rate and blood pressure? How do they make us feel and what impact might our environment have on cardiac disease development? How is the neurological system also connected?
Assignment process:
Read: Münzel et al. (2018).Environmental Noise and the Cardiovascular System.Links to an external site. Journal of the American College of Cardiology 71(6). 688-697.
Apply reading learnings:
Use your own pulse or that of another (either manually or with a smart watch/device) to assess heart rate while listening to a variety of sounds.
1. Choose sounds from each list – positive and negative
Examples of Positive Sounds (although not inclusive): laughter, rustling leaves, water (stream, ocean, waterfall, etc.), crackling fire, music, etc.
Examples of Negative Sounds (although not inclusive): pounding jackhammer, buzzer or bell ringing, dental drill, baby crying, mosquito, music, etc.
2. Develop a Mind Map showing the connections to sound and the body’s stress response. Starting with your main concept or theme in the center and branching out from there to visually organize the information in a hierarchy, showing relationships. A Mind Map is different than a Concept Map, which we will work on later in the semester. A Mind Map focuses on one theme or concept with relationships shown by connecting lines that are not bi-directional and arrangement is represented in a radial manner.

3. Post your mind map to your CLT discuss and compare/contrast your experiences with your CLT members.
4, Review rubric to ensure all components are included in assignment submission.
