Mental stress can also be expressed in other ways, namely through aggressive acts. Laboratory findings (Donnerstein & Wilson, 1976; Geen & O’Neal, 1969) indicate that subjects exposed to noise were more likely to administer shocks (shocks were not actually given) to other subjects. Anger, as noted above in the Bronzaft et al. study (2000) is a frequent response when an individual is disturbed by noise, and anger often elicits aggression. Thus, one should not be surprised at newspaper stories of individuals attacking noise-making neighbors. The Noise Pollution Clearinghouse provides many of these newspaper accounts on its Web site (www.nonoise.org). In New York City, the former director of the Victim Services Mediation Program, Janice Tudy-Jackson, has noted at several public talks that many of the disputes they are asked to mediate involve noise that too often escalated to aggressive behavior.
