Noise from home appliances is often seen as a minor issue, mainly affecting hearing. However, the consequences go far beyond that. Experts warn that prolonged exposure to noise can lead to serious health problems, including vision damage, such as eye fatigue, pain, dizziness, and even blurred vision. Additionally, it can harm the cardiovascular system and cause nervous system disorders. With proper care and attention, though, we can significantly reduce the noise generated by our household appliances.
**Washing Machine: Load It Right**
One of the main reasons for unusual noises in washing machines is improper loading. If you wash too little at once, the machine may not balance properly, causing more noise. To avoid this, always load an appropriate amount of clothes. Also, make sure the water level is sufficient before starting the cycle. A low water level not only increases noise but also uses more electricity and puts extra strain on the machine.
**Air Conditioner: Regular Cleaning Is Key**
The indoor unit of an air conditioner can become noisy due to several factors. Dust buildup on the filter, blocked airflow, dry bearings, or expansion and contraction of plastic parts can all contribute to unwanted sounds. To keep your AC running smoothly, clean the filters regularly based on how dusty your environment is. For more complex maintenance, like lubricating moving parts, it’s best to call a professional technician.
**Range Hood: Check Impeller and Flap Valve**
When buying a range hood, the noise rating is usually measured at maximum power. In reality, most cooking doesn’t require full power. Adjust the speed according to your needs—low for boiling and high for frying. Over time, the impeller can become unbalanced or misaligned, leading to noise. Always refer to the manual for installation instructions and replace the impeller if necessary. The flap valve inside also plays a key role in noise control. If it’s damaged or not installed correctly, it can cause excessive noise and poor ventilation. Avoid using water or flammable cleaners; instead, clean the filter monthly and empty the oil cup regularly.
**How to Reduce Household Noise: 5 Simple Tips**
1. Distribute appliances across different rooms to avoid concentrating sound in one area, especially in bedrooms.
2. Address any appliance issues promptly, as faulty devices often produce louder noises.
3. Avoid using multiple appliances at the same time to prevent noise from overlapping and harming your health.
4. Add more indoor plants to help absorb some noise while improving air quality.
5. Maintain a balanced diet rich in amino acids and vitamin B, as noise can deplete these nutrients and affect your body’s ability to cope with stress.
By following these tips, you can create a quieter, healthier living space without sacrificing convenience.
