“The pollution of the environment
due to spreading of noise, which interferes with
human communication, comfort and health, is
called noise pollution.”

The perception of human ear to

loudness is related with sound level, which is
measured in decibels.

Causes of Noise Pollution :
1. The noise produced by thunders,
barking
of dogs, and sounds from birds and
animals.
2. The noise produced by shouting of
people in public gatherings.
3. The noise produced by televisions,
stereos, and radios.
4. The noise from musical instruments
during functions.
Causes of Noise Pollution :
5. The noise from loud speakers.
6. The noise produced by crackers
during festivals and functions.
7. The noise from the cinema theaters,
schools, offices, and community
halls
8. The noise produced by horns of the
vehicles.
Causes of Noise Pollution :
9. The noise produced by traffic on roads.
10. The noise produced by locomotives and
aircrafts.
11. The noise from building construction
and
civil engineering works.
12. The noise from workshops and
foundries.
13. The noise produced by machinery in
industries and factories.
Causes of Noise Pollution :
14. The noise produced by power
generators, air conditioners and
vacuum
cleaners.

15. The noise produced by explosives in

stone crushing.

and etc…..
Effects of Noise Pollution :
1. Noise pollution effects human health,
comfort and efficiency.
2. It interrupts the communication of the
people.
3. It causes impatience and mental
disorder.
4. It causes headache and increase in
blood pressure.
5. It causes sleeplessness and nervous
breakdown.
Effects of Noise Pollution :
6. It causes temporary deafness. If the
noise is very loud, it may cause
permanent deafness.
7. It causes heart, liver and kidney
problems.
8. It causes contraction of blood vessels
and makes the skin pale.
9. Noise due to sudden explosives may
cause cracks in walls, windows, doors
and glasses of buildings.
Effects of Noise Pollution :
10. Noise like resonance may
collapse
buildings and bridges.

and Etc…..
Methods of minimizing Noise
Pollution :
1. The people must be educated
about
the control of noise pollution.
2. Televisions, record players and
stereos should played with low
sound level.
3. Loud speakers should be used
within limited sound level.
4. Crackers and musical
entertainment
Methods of minimizing Noise Pollution :
systems should be used for limited
period during festivals and functions.
5. Unnecessary blowing of horns
should
be avoided.
6. Periodical servicing of vehicles
should
be done to reduce noise from
engines.
7. Proper plantation must be done
Methods of minimizing Noise
Pollution :
along highways, streets and
industrial areas to absorb the noise.
8. “Noise free zones” should be
maintained near schools and
hospitals.
9. The factories and aerodromes
should be constructed far away
from residential area.
Methods of minimizing Noise
Pollution :
10. In factories noise creating
machinery should be covered
with insulating material.
11. Sound proof walls should be
constructed for industries and
factories.
