This article aims to draw attention to the hitherto unexplored and scarcely noticed problem of the effects of the consumption of increasing amounts of energy to human health and ecosystems exposed to emissions processed in the phase of energy consumption. Ever-increasing amounts of energy are consumed in relatively small areas of highways. Reference is made to the results of pioneering research on the impact of emitted sound energy by transport routes and by industrial noise on human health (Borzyszkowski 2010). This was clearly found to increase in people exposed to prolonged acoustic wave energy. The results of the effect of noise on human health clearly indicate the need for further research in this field. It should be emphasized that although the research and evaluation conducted by the Institute for Environmental Protection and Proeko CDM Ltd., which have been presented in this article, are pioneering and include an analysis of the cause-and-effect phenomenon, they do not, however, indicate the mechanism of the effect of noise on human health. The category rating of disease symptoms caused by the noise indicates that the key to clarifying the influence of the energy supplied to the organisms of people on the way of acoustic waves on their health may be forced supplied energy changes of biochemical reactions occurring in humans.

We are living in an era of omnipresent music, which is caused by the fact that the media enable us to use music any time and anywhere. Whether we like it or not, we encounter music everywhere, which leads to fatigue caused by sound excess resulting from the fact that music is treated functionally, mainly by the so-called muzaks, playing pieces selected in order to achieve some specific benefits. Consequently, music often seems to be noise, as, according to psychologists, all acoustic stimuli that disturb people who have to bear them are, in fact, noise. Today, music functions in our homes as a background to everyday life that does not require listening, as a result of which people become used to turning a deaf ear to it and, consequently, become indifferent to it and lose any musical sensitivity. The omnipresence of music is also enhanced by earphones that transmit it wherever we want, which has its good and bad sides. The advantage is that the listener does not impose his or her music on others; the disadvantage — according to otolaryngologists, the listener is at risk of gradually becoming deaf. The abuse of music is denounced mainly by musicians, who want to have some sensible, binding regulations in this respect. Unfortunately, they have had little success until now, so music keeps making a noise.

The paper seeks to reconstruct the sonic environment of Lower Silesian industry exhibitions in the 19th century and in the first half of the 20th century. The author draws on sources concerning the exhibitions held in Breslau, Schweidnitz, Liegnitz, and Görlitz between 1820 and 1905 such as exhibition catalogues, reports, press accounts, etc. The sound environment of the exhibitions included sound signals, songs performed at exhibition openings, and pieces composed for the exhibitions. Craft and industry products on display included musical instruments — some of them experimental — whose sound was subjected to the assessment of visitors. In addition, there was a profusion of non-music audio phenomena produced by people, animals and exhibits such as machines. Extant press accounts tell us how visitors responded to these “fascinating,” if sometimes “off-putting,” sounds.

The goal of the present study was to analyze if in addition to the thermal and light constraints on the work environment, noise also affects the level of children's short-term memory. We carried out the study on a small sample of male students (N = 20) aged between 13 and 14 years in the artificially created work conditions - in a 'climate chamber'. We used the short-term memory tests which students solved in 18 different combinations of work environment stresses, and this led to 360 measurements. The results show that, looking at individual factors, all the factors of the work environment stress under consideration have an important effect on the level of children's short-term memory. When we look at the matter from an interactive point of view, we notice that noise is the factor that stands out most in the stress process. All these findings have helped us to develop the prediction factors from the acquired results. With these prediction factors, we can anticipate the level of short-term memory if we know the physical parameters of the work environment.

The increase of noise in man’s environment is a characteristic of aural human culture of the 20th century. Its subsequent involvement in artistic culture (futurism, electroacoustic music, noise music, etc.) is a natural consequence of these processes. At its beginnings, noise, hisses, distortions, and various, originally non-musical, sounds came to be the means of expansion of potential aesthetic qualities of art. In the paper, the presence of noise elements as means of expression in the contemporary musical-dramatic genre is considered. Their aesthetic effects in alternative theatre are analysed using examples of performances and workshops at the “Academic Prešov” festival.
