    Sound is characterized by its frequency measured in Hertz, pitch determined by frequency, and loudness or amplitude measured in decibels. Sound is produced by vibrations and propagates through a medium like gas, liquid or solid, being detected by the human ear through vibrations of the vocal cords and eardrum. Excessive or unwanted sounds in the environment constitute noise pollution which can cause health issues like headaches, hearing loss, and hypertension.
