1. Noise pollution is defined as any form of noise that disrupts the normal functioning of life.

If left
unchecked, it can have serious effects on the mind and body of humans.

2. Noise pollution is one of the biggest source of discomfort, stress and nuisance in Pakistan. In urban
areas and big cities, noise pollution has reached to a dangerous level. For instance, a survey by the
Punjab Environmental Protection Agency claims that the level of noise in Lahore has reached 91 decibels
whereas a maximum of 75 decibels is acceptable. This means that the mental and physical health of so
many people is already at risk.

3. The major causes of noise pollution in Pakistan are traffic on roads, construction sites, careless use of
electronic appliances and loud speech patterns. Noise coming from different modes of transport, i.e.
vehicles, airplanes, trains, ships, proves to be highly stressful for human communities. With the
population growth and development in urban areas, the vehicular traffic has also multiplied. This has
given rise to noise pollution, largely in the form of unwarranted honking by drivers. Also, the mushroom
growth of residential colonies near airports and railway stations has exposed residents to permanent and
unavoidable source of noise pollution.

4. Another source of noise pollution in urban areas is the work on construction sites. Construction work
in urban areas is usually slow and time-consuming. The use of transport and equipment at construction
sites, its grilling and piercing sound is a big source of noise pollution. It not only disturbs the general
public but also affects the construction workers by causing mental

fatigue.

5. Use of technology is another cause of noise pollution. For example, unmonitored use of mobile
phones, electricity generators, music systems and TV, all become irritants from time to time. People
usually do not switch off their mobiles or put them on silent modes when they enter offices, hospitals,
schools and colleges. They also use electricity generators excessively in residential areas and put other
residents ill at ease. Moreover, listening to loud music or TV on a loud volume is another source of noise
pollution. For this, people need to develop some civic responsibility so that others may not be in trouble
because of their careless actions.

6. Noise pollution causes not only environmental damage but it also has a negative impact on human
health. It can cause aggression, hypertension, high stress levels, hearing loss, restlessness, depression
and insomnia. Insomnia can further lead to anxiety, bad temper and emotional stress. In addition, noise
pollution can seriously affect the learners, it gives them unnecessary mental and physical tension.

7. In Pakistan, there is a dire need to bring down the noise levels, coming from different sources. The
government must gear up and utilize various means to control unwarranted noise levels. For example,
the Punjab Environment Protection Agency recommends around 55 decibels of noise level in residential
colonies and 75 decibels in commercial areas. These figures must be strictly enforced by the
government. Furthermore, the government should ensure smooth traffic flow, block noise emitting
vehicles from roads, use noise barriers where necessary, and expedite construction work to minimize
noise pollution. Also, the residential societies should come forward to frame and enforce rules in their
areas to check unnecessary noise producing agents.

Offices, hospitals and academic institutions should strictly prohibit the use of mobile phones for better
noise management. Moreover, people should be discouraged to speak loudly in these areas.
8. Noise pollution is a serious issue and needs attention at local and state level. People must develop
awareness about the dangerous impact of noise on human health. It is, therefore, a need to acquire
more civic sense and responsible attitude to avoid the unnecessary use of noise pollution irritants in the
environment. Only then our country would be a much quieter and peaceful place to live in.
