For travelers who need one more 90-decibel TSA reminder that unattended bags may be confiscated and destroyed, Denver International Airport won’t disappoint.⁠ ⁠ But DIA officials also just implemented a mandatory Quiet Airport Policy targeting the noises they can control. ⁠ ⁠ A growing body of medical evidence establishes the role of loud noise in triggering physical and psychological distress, similar to light pollution, which can intensify travel anxiety. DIA officials say they see overwhelmed travelers break down or become irritable due to stress. There are no legally enforceable decibel limits for noise inside airports, despite the 52-year-old Noise Control Act that identified rising noise as a major public health hazard.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in our bio to read more about Denver’s quiet airport campaign. ⁠ ⁠ 📝: Bruce Finley, The Denver Post⁠ 📷: Tim Hurst, The Denver Post // tim_hurst_pix⁠ ⁠ #Denver #Travel #DIA #airports ⁠
