Does Exposure To High Volumes Of Sound Harmful?

Can the screaming of children at high volume and very high pitch (often multiple children simultaneously), in a nearby park (about 100 feet distance) be harmful to me and cause fight or flight response if it is ongoing? Is is often audible in my house. I cannot go outdoors most of the time during daylight hours because hearing the noise from the high-pitched screaming is too stressful for me.

Yes noise is hazardous to health .It may effect badlay the hearing if too much or for too long time .Besides this may also causes pscalogical diseases like agressive , mode dosorder , depression etc. For same reasons it's called Noise pollution.
Genrally this can be avoided by proper housings , implantation , noise ddumping construction.
if thats arent possible you can use some ear plugs to avoid the noise.
