Noise pollution also known as sound pollution is a certain sound that affects human or animal life. Noise pollution usually causes Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). Noise pollution can also cause many other types of health problems like high blood pressure, stress, heart diseases etc. The health problems affect all group ages like teenage, adult etc but children are affected the most by this type of pollution.
Noise pollution is a very dangerous problem on the earth. It has been affecting the current generation. Noise pollution is as dangerous as all of the other positions on the earth like soil pollution, water pollution and soil pollution. People are focusing on other pollution but people aren’t focusing on noise pollution. Noise pollution can cause lots of problems in our current society and if people don't find a solution to this problem is going to be very hard to overcome in the coming years.
There are many causes of noise pollution: industrialization and modernization are the two main causes of noise pollution. Due to the rapid growth of the earth people are discovering new methods of transportation, video calling. Overall the earth is developing at a rapid speed. Due to this many things are causing pollution. Noise pollution is caused by machines located in different industries and factories. Noise pollution is also caused by aeroplanes,vehicles and railroads. All of the above examples release harmful and loud sounds in the air. These machines and vehicles also cause lots of air pollution. Many household equipment also causes lots of noise pollution. People use loudspeakers and firecrackers, this also causes noise pollution.
Noise pollution can damage someone's ears and in some cases people can't understand words properly because the noise pollution has affected their ears. In some cases people have even been deaf as well. Noise pollution also affects animals. Noise pollution can affect our behaviour and hearing skills.
Noise pollution is extremely harmful to both human beings and animals. If no prevention steps are taken to reduce noise pollution it can cause lots of destruction. So we must prevent noise pollution and make people aware about how much damage noise pollution can do. If we all work together and make it our responsibility to overcome noise pollution, then the earth is a better place to live in. People are still not aware about the effects and causes of noise pollution. Noise pollution can't be removed from the earth permanently but we can reduce the amount of noise pollution in our earth by minimising the use of vehicles and machines in the factories.
