Noise pollution refers to the excessive or harmful levels of noise in the environment that can adversely affect human health, wildlife, and overall quality of life. It is typically caused by various sources, such as traffic, industrial activities, construction, loud music, and other sound-producing events. Noise pollution can lead to various issues, including hearing loss, increased stress levels, sleep disturbances, and negative impacts on communication and concentration. It is often measured in decibels (dB) and can be a significant concern in urban areas where noise levels are consistently higher than in rural settings. Efforts to manage noise pollution may involve regulations, urban planning, and community initiatives aimed at minimizing excessive noise sources and protecting public health and well-being.
