Somatic brain · Physical Discomfort & Depletion as Leverage
Noise & Sound Pressure
Intermittent noise and background speech impair cognitive performance and raise stress; the popular claim that inaudible infrasound creates dread is weakly supported and not a usable tactic.
An everyday example
A negotiation in a venue with a loud, unpredictable soundscape, or a call with constant background chatter.
What it can cost you
Fatigue and shortcuts attributed to the deal rather than to the acoustics.
Warning signs
- I am irritable and the deal seems worse than this morning.
- I cannot hear myself think, literally.
One thing to do
Move or reschedule; if you cannot, shorten the session and defer decisions.
