  Noise can increase the secretion of adrenaline1
  in humans, perhaps because our distant ancestors
  associated loud sounds, like a lion's roar or a baby's scream, with danger. The greater the sound,
  the greater the adrenaline rush. Dr. Les Blomberg theorizes that racetracks try to be as loud as
  possible because the noise excites the fans. That's why exercise classes crank up the decibels,2
  and rock bands, and action movies, he observes. In effect, noise becomes a drug they're
  pumping out and into you.

  Family composition is dynamic and is associated with critical parental and economic resources. In
  2009, 70 percent of children ages 017 lived with two parents, 26 percent with one parent, and 4
  percent with no parents. Among children living with two parents, 88 percent lived with two
  married parents (biological or adoptive). Among children living with one parent, 79 percent lived
  with their single mother (without a cohabiting partner). Among children living with neither
  parent, 52 percent lived with a grandparent. Six percent of all children ages 017 lived with a
  parent or parents who were cohabiting.
