      My suspicion on this is not the noise from the device, or even the devices themselves are the problem... It's that we sit on our ass all day watching/listening to them. Brain health is correlated to exercise and movement.

  If we're talking about concentration, social media/devices likely play a _much_ larger part.

  Insofar as traffic is concerned, any drop in IQ would be more likely related to PM2.5 pollution levels than noise: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/air-pollution-linked-dementia-cases https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/air-pol...
