Main Article Content

Abstract

The term "noise pollution" refers to excessive noise that might disrupt human activity or equilibrium. The majority of noise is created by climatic vibration noise/occupational sound, that comprises manufacturing machinery, transport networks, and interior noise produced by machines (especially in specific workplaces), building operations, household appliances, and musician activities, among other things. Building and manufacturing machinery regularly exposes workers to harmful noise levels while also contributing significantly to neighborhood sound. Sound levels might not be high enough to cause hearing loss, but they do have a negative impact on human health. Transportation is a major source of noise in the environment. The governments of many nations have laws and regulations in place to combat dangerous noise sources, but enforcement seems to be lax. Noise regulations and rules vary considerably throughout the globe.
