Interesting. I think it might be useful to have more studies on this. For example, one uncertainty is about net welfare across time, i.e if it decreases the net population or if some other group of animals fill in to consume the available resources. Also since it mentions that anthropogenic noise increases cortisol by 90-120x in fishes, I wonder how we should trade off against the stress this causes animals in short term vs the population reduction.
