my father raised 'fancy' canaries. Kennedy Airport (at that point, 'Idlewild) starting running passenger jets. That year, no eggs hatched - the vibrations of jets going over his aviary killed the baby's from the vibrations, or the adult birds were put off of mating. Eventually the jets were retrofitted with some sort of dampening, but it was too late; four or five years to late.
Now that was repetitive, nearly constant, high dB NOISE.

But things you never consider are the things that will get you in the end.
