About this listen

What does a city sound like when it’s making us sick?

In the first episode of Peer to Ear, we dive into Dr. Jimena de Gortari’s research on urban noise and the invisible ways it shapes our bodies, our sleep, and our everyday lives. From chronic exhaustion and stress to the idea of silence as a privilege, this episode explores how sound pollution has become both a public health crisis and a form of social inequality.

Why are some people condemned to live in constant noise while others can afford quiet? And what would a healthier, more just city actually sound like?

A conversation about noise, power, rest, and the hidden soundtrack of urban life.
