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 of pollution is limited to nature and resources. However, noise that tends to disrupt
the natural rhythm of life makes for one solid pollutant.
By definition, noise pollution takes place when there is either excessive amount of noise or an unpleasant
sound that causes temporary disruption in the natural balance. This definition is usually applicable to sounds or
noises that are unnatural in either their volume or their production. Our environment is such noisy that it has
become difficult to escape noise. Even electrical appliances at home have a constant hum or beeping sound. By
and large, lack of urban planning increases the exposure to unwanted sounds. This is why understanding noise
pollution is necessary to curb it in time.
