I would have to disagree. An evil person's thoughts are more toxic to the environment than loud music. Noise pollution is a term used, that can be arguably associated with the "spoiled" post industrialized mentality of the microwave generation. How can loud music be an environmental toxin, even in theory? The only substantial evidence that proves loud music to be a toxin, is when in excess, it may lead to headaches. I can argue the protagonist because I for one suffer from migraines.

Music is sync with the very toxic air we breathe. The birds bring their music, airplanes, taxi cabs, children's laughter, bicycle bells, the metal curtains raised when city stores open in the morning, these sounds are music. To some people they are motivational songs. Loud music draws people closer, we as Americans have no culture as a country, besides music. So unless we're all supremacists with respect to our own race, how can the coming together be looked upon as a bad thing. Its the beginning solution to the age old question..."can't we all just get along?"

Of all the natural elements that are toxic to our environment, I would have to say that music is the most beneficial in terms of the progress brings, when incorporated in the daily activities of life. Yeah we need minerals, but they can be carcinogenic, music soothes even the most savage of beasts. Turn ya music up!

Yet on the contrary, for loud music to be an environmental toxin, silence would have to be an addiction. And what price would one pay for quiet? The way I see it, the environment is custom made and music or sound rather, is an amenity paid for with the harmony of that facility. Music is life and change, it represents the environment, it's the condescending result of emotional temperatures.

However, loud music can have its disadvantages but its not hazardous. For example, when blasted in vehicles being driven past someone's funeral procession, its not dangerous to the human body, but to the psyche and group as a whole it could serve as disrespect. Late at night... say the early morning hours, it can toxic waking up or enabling infants to get sufficient rest and relaxation it can be toxic, but on the grand scale of the universe, it's not harmful at all. Loud music only becomes toxic, when the prurpose of music turns into subliminal hate messages. But it has a place in the environment.
