Noise pollution refers to unwanted and excessive sound that disrupts human or animal activity and health. It can cause physical health issues like hypertension, tinnitus, and hearing loss as well as psychological issues like annoyance, aggression, and stress. Both humans and animals are negatively impacted. Solutions to noise pollution include regulations by governments, efforts by societies, and actions by individuals.
