Every year thousands die because of noise pollution. In Europe, loud noise made from traffic is the responsible for 3% of cardiac arrests. Loud noise can also cause sleep disorders, learning problems for children and even deafness.
From 85 decibels and up noise starts affecting hearing.
Between 120 and 130 decibels, noise produces pain.
Inside homes, it Can get up to 50 decibels. And in offices up to 65.
In night clubs and rock concerts noise can get up to 110 decibels. Traffic noise can get easily to 85.
SO PLEASE STOP HONKING YOUR HORNS!!!!

I think women have their car horns attached to their brain because even a sudden movement 1 mile away makes them honk their horns.
I researched the decibel levels of the alarms that are attached to the clothing and beds of the residents in nursing homes. I worked on a dementia ward and these people suddenly get up when they are not 'allowed' to. Whenever that happens, a HORRIBLE sound goes off that is louder than what you mentioned. It happens ALL DAY LONG. I will never put anyone in one of those places, and I would rather die than be in one. That is just one of the many reasons why. That reason is sufficient though.
