Humans are great (well, that's debatable) but we're also super noisy. Think about all of the noise we make with our vehicles, machines, various types of entertainment devices, and even our voices and you'll quickly come to the conclusion that humans as a species are one of the noisiest around. We're so noisy, in fact, that other animals tend to avoid us. Cities often push many species away just by gobbling up their habitat but beyond that our incredible noise can make other types of animals like birds search for homes elsewhere.
Scientists have been telling us about the effects of our noise on animal life for some time, but new research is beginning to point to another side effect that many people might not even consider. Since animal groups like birds are some of nature's most prolific seed-spreaders, it's looking increasingly likely that humans are actually preventing the regrowth and spread of various plant species simply because we're making the animals that plant those seeds head for the hills.
