Noise pollution, often overlooked but pervasive in urban environments, poses significant

health risks and impacts on quality of life. Generated from sources such as traffic,
industrial activities, construction work, and recreational events, excessive noise levels can
lead to hearing loss, sleep disturbances, stress, and cardiovascular issues.

In urban areas, noise pollution is a constant presence, affecting millions of people


worldwide. It not only disrupts daily activities but also undermines mental well-being
and productivity. Vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and those with
pre-existing health conditions are particularly susceptible to the adverse effects of noise
pollution.

Efforts to mitigate noise pollution include soundproofing measures, urban planning


strategies, and the enforcement of noise regulations. Implementing quieter
technologies, promoting public awareness, and designing green spaces as buffers
against noise can contribute to creating healthier and more livable environments.
Addressing noise pollution is essential for preserving human health and promoting
sustainable urban development.
