    Noise pollution occurs when unwanted or excessive sound disrupts normal activities. It is an underrated environmental problem that can damage both physical and psychological health. Transportation systems, construction projects, and industrial operations are major sources of noise pollution. Solutions include planting trees near noisy areas, maintaining vehicles and machinery, installing soundproofing in buildings, providing hearing protection for workers, and enacting regulations to control loud speakers. Raising public awareness and long-term community planning can also help reduce noise pollution.

    It is an underrated environmental problem because of the

    fact that we cant see, smell, or taste it.


    World Health Organization stated that Noise must be

    recognized as a major threat to human well-being

    Health Effects
    According to the USEPA, there are direct links between noise

    and health. Also, noise pollution adversely affects the lives of millions of people.
    Noise pollution can damage physiological and psychological

    health.
    High blood pressure,

    stress related illness, sleep disruption, hearing loss, and productivity loss are the problems related to noise pollution.

    It can also cause memory loss, severe depression, and panic

    attacks.

    Sources of Noise Pollution


    Transportation systems are the

    main source of noise pollution

    in urban areas.
    Construction of buildings, highways, and streets cause a lot of

    noise, due to the usage of air compressors, bulldozers, loaders, dump trucks, and pavement breakers.
    Industrial noise also adds to the already unfavorable

    state of

    noise pollution.
    Loud speakers, plumbing, boilers, generators, air

    conditioners, fans, and vacuum cleaners add to the existing noise pollution.

    Solutions for Noise Pollution


    Planting bushes

    and trees in and around sound generating sources is an effective solution for noise pollution.

    Regular servicing and tuning of automobiles can effectively

    reduce the noise pollution.


    Buildings can be designed with suitable noise absorbing

    material for the walls, windows, and ceilings.


    Workers should

    be provided with equipments such as ear plugs and earmuffs for hearing protection.

    Solutions for Noise Pollution

    Similar to automobiles, lubrication of the machinery and servicing should be done to minimize noise generation. Soundproof doors and windows can be installed to block unwanted noise from outside. Regulations should be imposed to restrict the usage of play loudspeakers in crowded areas and public places. Factories and industries should be located far from the residential areas.

    Solutions for Noise Pollution


    Community development or urban management should
