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. Solutions include planting trees as sound barriers, maintaining vehicles and machinery, installing soundproofing in buildings, and enacting regulations on loud speakers in public areas.
Any unwanted, disturbing or harmful sound that impairs or interferes with hearing, causes stress, hampers concentration and work efficiency or causes accidents called noise pollution.

2. WHAT IS NOISE POLLUTION?
Sound that is unwanted or disrupts one’s quality of life is
called as noise. When there is lot of noise in the
environment, it is termed as noise pollution.
Sound becomes undesirable when it disturbs the normal
activities such as working, sleeping, and during
conversations.
It is an underrated environmental problem because of the
fact that we can’t see, smell, or taste it.
World Health Organization stated that “Noise must be
recognized as a major threat to human well-being”
3. HEALTH EFFECTS
According to the USEPA, there are direct links between noise
and health. Also, noise pollution adversely affects the lives of
millions of people.
Noise pollution can damage physiological and psychological
health.
High blood pressure, stress related illness, sleep disruption,
hearing loss, and productivity loss are the problems related to
noise pollution.
It can also cause memory loss, severe depression, and panic
attacks.
4. SOURCES OF NOISE POLLUTION
Transportation systems are the main source of noise pollution
in urban areas.
Construction of buildings, highways, and streets cause a lot of
noise, due to the usage of air compressors, bulldozers,
loaders, dump trucks, and pavement breakers.
Industrial noise also adds to the already unfavorable state of
noise pollution.
Loud speakers, plumbing, boilers, generators, air
conditioners, fans, and vacuum cleaners add to the existing
noise pollution.
5. SOLUTIONS FOR NOISE
POLLUTION
Planting bushes and trees in and around sound generating
sources is an effective solution for noise pollution.
Regular servicing and tuning of automobiles can effectively
reduce the noise pollution.
Buildings can be designed with suitable noise absorbing
material for the walls, windows, and ceilings.
Workers should be provided with equipments such as ear
plugs and earmuffs for hearing protection.
6. SOLUTIONS FOR NOISE
POLLUTION
Similar to automobiles, lubrication of the machinery and
servicing should be done to minimize noise generation.
Soundproof doors and windows can be installed to block
unwanted noise from outside.
Regulations should be imposed to restrict the usage of
play loudspeakers in crowded areas and public places.
Factories and industries should be located far from the
residential areas.
7. SOLUTIONS FOR NOISE
POLLUTION
Community development or urban management should
be done with long-term planning, along with an aim to
reduce noise pollution.
Social awareness programs should be taken up to
educate the public about the causes and effects of noise
pollution.
