Noise pollution is the excessive or disturbing noise that can have detrimental effects on human health and the environment. It can be caused by a variety of sources, including industrial activities, transportation, construction, and urbanization. Noise pollution can lead to sleep disturbances, hearing loss, stress, and other health issues. Research in this area focuses on measuring and mitigating the impacts of noise pollution, as well as developing regulations and policies to control and reduce excessive noise levels in communities. Studies also explore the effects of noise pollution on wildlife and ecosystems, as well as the socio-economic impacts of noise on communities.
