While some research explores specific sound frequencies (e.g., 528 Hz at 100 dB) potentially increasing testosterone, the overwhelming evidence links chronic, high-intensity noise pollution to diminished testosterone and reduced male fertility
Chronic exposure to loud noises (typically above 55–100 dB) can lower testosterone levels in males by triggering chronic stress
, which raises cortisol and disrupts the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis. Studies indicate this stress-induced, lower testosterone is often accompanied by reduced sperm count, decreased sperm mobility
