    Noise pollution occurs when unwanted or excessive sound disrupts normal activities. It can damage both physical and psychological health by causing issues like high blood pressure, sleep disruption, and memory loss. Major sources of noise pollution are transportation systems, construction sites, and industrial operations which use loud machinery. Some solutions to noise pollution include planting trees near noisy areas, installing soundproofing in buildings, enforcing limits on loud speakers, and educating the public about the impacts of excessive noise.
