Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- In response, a number of cities have begun enforcing nighttime noise limits and rerouting heavy traffic away from residential streets to curb the damage.
- Sustained over months or years, this hormonal response has been linked to elevated rates of hypertension and disturbed sleep among residents of the noisiest neighborhoods.
- When the body registers this kind of unrelenting sound, it responds as it would to any other stressor, releasing hormones that raise heart rate and blood pressure even while a person is asleep.
- Much of this noise comes from a small number of persistent sources, chiefly road traffic and construction equipment, both of which operate for long stretches of the day near residential areas.
- Constant exposure to traffic, construction, and machinery has made noise pollution one of the more overlooked hazards of modern city life.
