  • Adverse effects of noise pollution
    • There is a partial loss of hearing (deafness)

  • Noise pollution, also known as environmental noise or sound pollution, is the propagation of noise with ranging impacts on the activity of human or animal life, most of them harmful to a degree.
  • The source of outdoor noise worldwide is mainly caused by machines, transport, and propagation systems.
  • Poor urban planning may give rise to noise disintegration or pollution, side-by-side industrial and residential buildings can result in noise pollution in the residential areas.
  • Some of the main sources of noise in residential areas include loud music, transportation (traffic, rail, airplanes, etc.), lawn care maintenance, construction, electrical generators, explosions, and people.
  • Noise pollution affects both health and behavior.
  • Unwanted sound (noise) can damage physiological health.
  • Noise pollution is associated with several health conditions, including cardiovascular disorders, hypertension, high-stress levels, tinnitus, hearing loss, sleep disturbances, and other harmful and disturbing effects.
  • Noise can have a detrimental effect on animals, increasing the risk of death by changing the delicate balance in predator or prey detection and avoidance, and interfering with the use of the sounds in communication, especially in relation to reproduction, and in navigation and echolocation.
  • These effects then may alter more interactions within a community through indirect (“domino”) effects.
  • Acoustic overexposure can lead to temporary or permanent loss of hearing.
