Say what?!

Noise from screeching brakes and roaring trains on subway platforms is so harsh on the ears that it can cause “permanent, irreversible, noise-induced hearing loss,” a new study in a top medical journal found.

Researchers said that sound levels in some stations can reach up to 102.1 decibels — that's at least 23 points above what human ears should safely endure, the American Journal of Public Health's study said.
