Noise pollution from ship engines and sonar systems affects aquatic animals by making it difficult for them to communicate, find food, and avoid hazards. It can also interrupt their natural habitats if sources of noise such as construction sites or concerts are near bodies of water.

Steps like installing barriers and limiting loud vehicles can help prevent noise pollution, as can simply placing soundproofing materials around sources of
