Noise pollution or noise disturbance 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.
Outdoor noise is summarized by the
word environmental noise. Poor urban planning may
give rise to noise pollution, since side-by-side industrial
and residential buildings can result in noise pollution in
the residential areas.
One of the main cause of noise pollution is TRAFFIC.
Traffic is the main source of noise pollution in cities.
Noise-induced hearing
loss (NIHL) is hearing decrease
caused by loud sound.
Evidences of NIHL include a
history of exposure to loud
sound and a hearing loss in a
narrow range of frequencies,
such as those from gunfire,
power tools, explosions and
night club music. The loud
sounds result in the overstimulation of the hearing cells
leading to cell death.
Noise has been associated
with important
cardiovascular health
problems. In 1999, the
World Health Organization
concluded that the available
evidence suggested a weak
correlation between longterm noise exposure above
67-70 dB(A) and
hypertension. More recent
studies have suggested that
noise levels of 50 dB(A) at
night may also increase the
risk of myocardial
infarction by chronically
elevating cortisol
production.
Perhaps the most serious
problem created by sound
pollution is the impact it
has on our health. Because
sound pollution can trigger
the body’s stress response,
one of its major health
effects is chronic stress and
the high levels of stress
hormones that go with it.
As a result, noise pollution
has also been linked with
health problems such
as heart disease, high blood
pressure, and stroke.
Sound-proof your space. When
you can't stop the noise at it's
source, you can do your best to
keep it out. Sound-proofing your
home will help you rest easier at
night and keep your home
quieter during the day as well.
Acoustic foam panels are a
cheap, easy-to-install option
when you want to quickly
soundproof a room. For an even
easier solution, try hanging
blankets on the walls or
installing extra bookcases filled
with books.
Check into the noise
pollution laws in your
area. Most urban communities
have rules to prevent noise
pollution from getting out of
control. For example, there are
laws dictating during which
hours a construction site may
actively use machinery, and
when they need to stay quiet.
As a community member, you
can help enforce the laws if
you know what they are
Don't use your car horn
unnecessarily. Don't be part of
the problem by leaning on
your horn every time someone
looks at you wrong on the
street. Use your horn only
when absolutely necessary, as
a way to let someone know
that you're present or warn
them when they're about to
collide with something. It's
good driving etiquette, and
makes life more pleasant for
city-dwellers.

Noise pollution or noise disturbance 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.
Outdoor noise is summarized by the
word environmental noise. Poor urban planning may
give rise to noise pollution, since side-by-side industrial
and residential buildings can result in noise pollution in
the residential areas.
One of the main cause of noise pollution is TRAFFIC.
Traffic is the main source of noise pollution in cities.
Noise-induced hearing
loss (NIHL) is hearing decrease
caused by loud sound.
Evidences of NIHL include a
history of exposure to loud
sound and a hearing loss in a
narrow range of frequencies,
such as those from gunfire,
power tools, explosions and
night club music. The loud
sounds result in the overstimulation of the hearing cells
leading to cell death.
Noise has been associated
with important
cardiovascular health
problems. In 1999, the
World Health Organization
concluded that the available
evidence suggested a weak
correlation between longterm noise exposure above
67-70 dB(A) and
hypertension. More recent
studies have suggested that
noise levels of 50 dB(A) at
night may also increase the
risk of myocardial
infarction by chronically
elevating cortisol
production.
Perhaps the most serious
problem created by sound
pollution is the impact it
has on our health. Because
sound pollution can trigger
the body’s stress response,
one of its major health
effects is chronic stress and
the high levels of stress
hormones that go with it.
As a result, noise pollution
has also been linked with
health problems such
as heart disease, high blood
pressure, and stroke.
Sound-proof your space. When
you can't stop the noise at it's
source, you can do your best to
keep it out. Sound-proofing your
home will help you rest easier at
night and keep your home
quieter during the day as well.
Acoustic foam panels are a
cheap, easy-to-install option
when you want to quickly
soundproof a room. For an even
easier solution, try hanging
blankets on the walls or
installing extra bookcases filled
with books.
Check into the noise
pollution laws in your
area. Most urban communities
have rules to prevent noise
pollution from getting out of
control. For example, there are
laws dictating during which
hours a construction site may
actively use machinery, and
when they need to stay quiet.
As a community member, you
can help enforce the laws if
you know what they are
Don't use your car horn
unnecessarily. Don't be part of
the problem by leaning on
your horn every time someone
looks at you wrong on the
street. Use your horn only
when absolutely necessary, as
a way to let someone know
that you're present or warn
them when they're about to
collide with something. It's
good driving etiquette, and
makes life more pleasant for
city-dwellers.

caused by machines and transportation systems.
Outdoor noise is summarized by the
word environmental noise. Poor urban planning may
give rise to noise pollution, since side-by-side industrial
and residential buildings can result in noise pollution in
the residential areas.
One of the main cause of noise pollution is TRAFFIC.
Traffic is the main source of noise pollution in cities.
Noise-induced hearing
loss (NIHL) is hearing decrease
caused by loud sound.
Evidences of NIHL include a
history of exposure to loud
sound and a hearing loss in a
narrow range of frequencies,
such as those from gunfire,
power tools, explosions and
night club music. The loud
sounds result in the overstimulation of the hearing cells
leading to cell death.
Noise has been associated
with important
cardiovascular health
problems. In 1999, the
World Health Organization
concluded that the available
evidence suggested a weak
correlation between longterm noise exposure above
67-70 dB(A) and
hypertension. More recent
studies have suggested that
noise levels of 50 dB(A) at
night may also increase the
risk of myocardial
infarction by chronically
elevating cortisol
production.
Perhaps the most serious
problem created by sound
pollution is the impact it
has on our health. Because
sound pollution can trigger
the body’s stress response,
one of its major health
effects is chronic stress and
the high levels of stress
hormones that go with it.
As a result, noise pollution
has also been linked with
health problems such
as heart disease, high blood
pressure, and stroke.
Sound-proof your space. When
you can't stop the noise at it's
source, you can do your best to
keep it out. Sound-proofing your
home will help you rest easier at
night and keep your home
quieter during the day as well.
Acoustic foam panels are a
cheap, easy-to-install option
when you want to quickly
soundproof a room. For an even
easier solution, try hanging
blankets on the walls or
installing extra bookcases filled
with books.
Check into the noise
pollution laws in your
area. Most urban communities
have rules to prevent noise
pollution from getting out of
control. For example, there are
laws dictating during which
hours a construction site may
actively use machinery, and
when they need to stay quiet.
As a community member, you
can help enforce the laws if
you know what they are
Don't use your car horn
unnecessarily. Don't be part of
the problem by leaning on
your horn every time someone
looks at you wrong on the
street. Use your horn only
when absolutely necessary, as
a way to let someone know
that you're present or warn
them when they're about to
collide with something. It's
good driving etiquette, and
makes life more pleasant for
city-dwellers.

the residential areas.
One of the main cause of noise pollution is TRAFFIC.
Traffic is the main source of noise pollution in cities.
Noise-induced hearing
loss (NIHL) is hearing decrease
caused by loud sound.
Evidences of NIHL include a
history of exposure to loud
sound and a hearing loss in a
narrow range of frequencies,
such as those from gunfire,
power tools, explosions and
night club music. The loud
sounds result in the overstimulation of the hearing cells
leading to cell death.
Noise has been associated
with important
cardiovascular health
problems. In 1999, the
World Health Organization
concluded that the available
evidence suggested a weak
correlation between longterm noise exposure above
67-70 dB(A) and
hypertension. More recent
studies have suggested that
noise levels of 50 dB(A) at
night may also increase the
risk of myocardial
infarction by chronically
elevating cortisol
production.
Perhaps the most serious
problem created by sound
pollution is the impact it
has on our health. Because
sound pollution can trigger
the body’s stress response,
one of its major health
effects is chronic stress and
the high levels of stress
hormones that go with it.
As a result, noise pollution
has also been linked with
health problems such
as heart disease, high blood
pressure, and stroke.
Sound-proof your space. When
you can't stop the noise at it's
source, you can do your best to
keep it out. Sound-proofing your
home will help you rest easier at
night and keep your home
quieter during the day as well.
Acoustic foam panels are a
cheap, easy-to-install option
when you want to quickly
soundproof a room. For an even
easier solution, try hanging
blankets on the walls or
installing extra bookcases filled
with books.
Check into the noise
pollution laws in your
area. Most urban communities
have rules to prevent noise
pollution from getting out of
control. For example, there are
laws dictating during which
hours a construction site may
actively use machinery, and
when they need to stay quiet.
As a community member, you
can help enforce the laws if
you know what they are
Don't use your car horn
unnecessarily. Don't be part of
the problem by leaning on
your horn every time someone
looks at you wrong on the
street. Use your horn only
when absolutely necessary, as
a way to let someone know
that you're present or warn
them when they're about to
collide with something. It's
good driving etiquette, and
makes life more pleasant for
city-dwellers.

Noise pollution or noise disturbance 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.
Outdoor noise is summarized by the
word environmental noise. Poor urban planning may
give rise to noise pollution, since side-by-side industrial
and residential buildings can result in noise pollution in
the residential areas.
