> It never ceases to amaze me that blocking noise/sound (one of the weakest forces) is very difficult

Maybe a result of human evolution? If our ears weren't as sensitive to sound as they are, we might not all be here discussing this.



If you take that into consideration, loads of animals have even more sensitive hearing. Noise pollution is known (suggested?) to have a huge impact on nature as well, although iirc that's more about sudden noises, fireworks and the like.
