The Arctic is generally thought of as a quiet place compared to other regions where there are major cities.
That's beneficial for ocean creatures, which thrive in quiet seas.

They analyzed recordings from underwater microphones.
Here's one recording of a snowmobile driving on sea ice.
That's what the snowmobile sounds like underwater.
Climate change means a warmer Arctic, which makes it easier for ships, mining operations, and other potentially noisy activities to escalate even more, the authors warn.
