Understanding Noise Pollution Most of us are very used to the sounds we hear in everyday life. Loud music, the television, people talking on their phone, the traffic and even pets barking in the middle of the night. All of these have become a part of the urban culture and rarely disturb us. However, when the sound of the television keeps you from sleeping all night or the traffic starts to give you a headache, it stops becoming just noise and start turning into noise pollution. For many of us, the concept ofpollutionis limited to nature and resources. However, noise thattends to disrupt the natural rhythm of life makes for one solid pollutant.
Causes of Noise Pollution

1. Industrialization: Most of the industries use big machines which are capable ofproducing large amount of noise. Apart from that, various equipments like compressors, generators, exhaust fans, grinding mills also participate in producing big noise. Therefore, you must have seen workers in these factories and industries wearing ear plugs to minimize the effect of noise.

2. Poor Urban Planning:In most of the developing countries, poor urban planningalso play a vital role. Congested houses, large families sharing small space, fight over parking, frequent fights over basic amenities leads to noise pollution which may disrupt the environment of society.

3. Social Events:Noise is at itspeak in most of the social events. Whether it is marriage, parties, pub, disc or place of worship, people normally flout rules set by thelocal administration and create nuisance in the area. People play songs on full volume and dance till midnightwhich makes the condition of people living nearby pretty worse. In markets, you can seepeople selling clothes via making loud noise to attract the attention of people.

4. Transportation:Large number of vehicles on roads, aeroplanes flying over houses, underground trains produce heavy noise and people get it difficult to get accustomed tothat. The high noise leads to a situation wherein a normal person lose the ability to hear properly.

5. Construction Activities:Under construction activities like mining, construction of bridges, dams, buildings, stations, roads, flyovers take place in almost every part of the world. These construction activities take place everydayas we need more buildings, bridges to accommodate more people and to reduce traffic congestion. The down point is that these construction equipments are too noisy.
