**The Sounds of Human Progress… and Its Impact on Nature**

You can’t deny that human activity interferes with nature—whether through habitat loss, climate change, hunting, or destruction. But how many realize that **sound** itself can disrupt the natural world?

This is a recording of the latest SpaceX launch in Florida. I set up a microphone to capture the sonic booms, and what happened next was remarkable—alligators responded to the low frequencies, calling out in reaction.

Does this interfere with their breeding? Their communication? Their survival?

Who really knows. But one thing is certain: even the sounds of human progress ripple through the natural world in ways we’re only beginning to understand.
