Sound pollution, in short, is unwanted or disturbing noise that negatively impacts the health and well-being of humans and other living organisms.
Here's a slightly more detailed breakdown:
- It's essentially excessive noise that disrupts our normal environment.
- The intensity of sound is measured in decibels (dB).
- Sources can be varied, including traffic, industrial activity, construction, and even loud music.
- The consequences can range from stress and sleep disturbance to hearing loss and cardiovascular problems.
