Noise Pollution

When does sound becomes noise?Some sounds can distract us or break our concentration level. When this happens that sound becomes an unwanted noise.It is not the pitch or the loudness that makes the sound annoying. Sometimes it’s the repetitive nature of the sound or our inability to control it and this makes the sound annoying. Car alarms and the barking of dogs are a good example

What is noise pollution?Noise pollution is 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, motor vehicles, aircrafts, and trains. Poor urban planning may give rise to noise pollution, also side-by-side industrial and residential buildings can result in noise pollution in the residential areas.

How noise pollution affects YOU?Noise plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular disease in urban areas, increasing certain contributors to conditions like atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. About 3 percent of coronary heart disease deaths

could be attributed to noise pollution.Noise pollution can affect more than just our ears,

impacting sleep patterns, causing headaches, high blood pressure, stroke and even heart failure.

Non-auditory effect may be psychological changes in human beings.

Who is most at risk? People who live near 24-hours businesses, like airports, subways, and train stations all have the risk of the development of noise-related cardiovascular disease.

While an 8 percent TAC score increase may not sound like much, that number can translate into a significant risk factor for certain people.

Prevention/Measures to be takenIts not always possible to eliminate noise pollution. There are some techniques to help cut on unnecessary sound.Plant some trees: Sound travels in waves, so the

more obstacles it must travel through, the less will reach your ears.

Control what you can:  Instead of covering over sound with more sound, keep music and television noise as low as possible.

Use what you can to sound proof your homeDo not use car horns unnecessarily. Wear noise cancelling head phones if you work in a

loud environment.
