Noise pollution is the disturbing or excessive noise that may harm human or animal life. The main sources of outdoor noise worldwide are machines, transportation systems, and vehicles. High noise levels can contribute to increased stress and health issues in humans like high blood pressure. Aggression differs from assertiveness and can take physical or non-physical forms. This study examined how noise pollution affects aggression in humans. A survey was conducted of 10 females in Rawalpindi, Pakistan which found that noise increases aggression and causes health problems. The results support the hypothesis that excessive noise leads to greater aggression. Reducing noise through barriers, coverage, and plants can help lower aggression levels in communities.

5.  Noise pollution is the disturbing or excessive
noise that may harm the activity or balance
of human or animal life
 The source of most outdoor noise worldwide
is mainly caused by machines and
transportation systems, motor vehicles,
aircraft, and trains.
 High noise levels can contribute to
cardiovascular effects in humans, a rise in
blood pressure, and an increase in stress
and vasoconstriction, and an increased
incidence of coronary artery disease.

6.  Aggression can take a variety of forms
which may be expressed physically or
communicated verbally or non-verbally:
including, dominance aggression, inter-
male aggression, species-specific
aggression, sex-related aggression,
territorial aggression, isolation-induced
aggression, irritable aggression, and brain-
stimulation-induced aggression.
 Aggression differs from what is commonly
called assertiveness, although the terms are
often used interchangeably among
laypeople

7.  The article presents an overview of research
and theory on the non auditory effects of noise
on human behavior and health.
 Laboratory and naturalistic research on the
effects of noise on human performance,
interpersonal behavior, annoyance, cognitive
development, and mental and physical health
are reviewed.
 includes studies of children as well as adults,
and the discussion emphasizes the relevance
of this research for predicting the effect of
noise in community and industrial settings.

8.  The Authors are highly obliged to
acknowledge the services of deputy
director EPD along with his technical teams
for providing the laboratory facilities,
technical assistance as at when and where
needed.
 Their valuable suggestions, in time
encouragements, healthy discussions and
positive criticism in getting this work
completed in utmost ease and perfection is
also appreciated

9.  Research done by The Holocaust, the
Columbine, In Colorado school on the
World Trade Center on September 11,
2001.
 Mostly researcher were Greek &
Roman’s
 Aggressive and violent behavior by one
human being toward another is not a
new phenomenon. It was prevalent
among our hunter/gatherer ancestors
25,000 years ago.

10.  The prevalence of aggressive and
violent behavior today is sufficient to
make it a social problem worthy of
attention around the world.

11.  Noise badly effect and increase the rate
of aggression in humans.

12.  Develop conceptual models of the natural
factors that facilitate noisy miner
domination.
 Develop recommendations for
management responses to noisy miners
which identify where action to control noisy
miner impacts is necessary, and which
approaches are most cost-effective.
 Evaluate the rate of aggression which is
increasing in society day by day due to
noise.

13.  Noise is actually a Latin word which gives
the meaning seasickness, More commonly
it can be stated as the sensation of
annoyance, disgust or discomfort.
 In our day to day life noise pollution is
increasing rapidly and it becomes to grow
as one of the serious threats in some areas.
 . Noise pollution becomes a stress full one to
so many animals it also creating many
problems in prey relation / predator &
detection

14.  The problem of Noise pollution has gained
significant attention from the environmental
point. But still this noise pollution has not
received the full recognition as one of the
major environmental issue.
 Noise laws are not created in many courtiers
yet. In United States they have federal
standards for the things like aircraft noise,
highway and aircraft noise, some states & local
governments are having the specific statutes
for the building codes, road way development
programs and urban planning.

15.  Hearing loss
 Cognitive Function
 Cardio Vascular Problem
 Psychological Problems
 Stress
 Annoyance

16.  Sample:

 Instrument:

19.  Yes noise badly effects human
Aggression.

20.  In the workplace, noise pollution is generally
a problem once the noise level is greater
than 55 dB(A). Selected studies show that
approximately 35 to 40% of workers in office
settings find noise levels from 55 to 60 dB(A)
to be extremely irritating. In fact, the noise
standard in Germany for mentally stressful
tasks is set at 55 dB(A). However, if the noise
is source is continuous, the threshold level
for tolerable noise levels amongst office
workers actually becomes lower than 55
dB(A).

4 60% 20% 20%

22.  It could be concluded that Rawalpindi will
become the cities with noise as compared with
the cities of Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai, etc. It
is not only the majority of population that was
adversely affected both by auditory effects
and psychological/sociological effects.
 These results are depicted in Table which is in
result Although the values of ambient noise
standard may be the desirable noise exposure
limit for communities it may be difficult to
achieve this level in many areas of Rawalpindi
city unless there is some public awareness.

23.  This study indicates that noise affects
individuals in many ways. It results in
improper communication, sleeplessness
and reduced efficiency. Though the
psycho-somatic effects (annoyance and
depression) are also common yet the
extreme effects.
 for example, deafness and mental
breakdown are not ruled out. In a majority
of population it is therefore personally
requested.

24.  Noise pollution is the disturbing or
excessive noise that may harm the
activity or balance of human or animal
life.
 Aggression is overt, often harmful, social
interaction with the intention of inflicting
damage or other unpleasantness upon
another individual.

25.  Aggression differs from what is commonly
called assertiveness, although the terms are
often used interchangeably among laypeople
(as in phrases such as "an aggressive
salesperson")
 And after getting result our hypothesis proved
true that aggression mostly caused by noise
pollution.
 Excess noise can damage hearing sense or
cause deafness. Even the verbal
communications of our population is also
shows that they are agreed with our hypothesis

26.  The Acoustic ABC Principles “Absorb”,
“Block”, “Cover” can be applied to
reduce noise pollution if not eliminated.
 . Plants attenuating sound is now a well
established experimental fact Proper
tree, shrub, grass combination may
attenuate up to 12dB by producing its
own sound which will mask the noise
through destructive interference.

27.  Also our industrialist and the noise polluters
should take appropriate measures for reducing
the intensity of noise in community life.
 It may be stated that some stringent legal
provisions are also necessary to control noise
pollution. It is high time that plans are taken up
and implemented in right earnest to make
these cities with tolerable noise level.
 These recommendations may be good for
reducing noise level in human life and if noise
will be reduce the aggressive behavior will also
reduce in humans which badly effects them.

28.  Limitation from our family that’s why we
cannot go outside of the city for our
survey
 That’s why we selected the people of
Rawalpindi (FJWU)
