Noise pollution is more than just an annoyance—it can seriously affect health over time. Constant exposure to loud traffic, construction, loudspeakers, or industrial noise increases stress levels and can disturb sleep. Long-term effects include high blood pressure, heart problems, hearing loss, and reduced concentration. Even moderate noise can affect children’s learning and mental well-being. Unlike air pollution, noise is often ignored, but its impact is real and growing in busy cities. Using quieter machinery, planting sound-absorbing trees, enforcing noise control laws, and reducing unnecessary loud events can protect community health. Awareness about noise pollution is key to preventing these silent yet harmful effects on our mind and body.
Eye-opening topic, Everyday noise like traffic, trains, or planes does more than just irritate us. It raises stress hormones, disrupts sleep, and silently increases the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and even memory struggles.
yes, i hate noise whenever i hear loud noises i get headaches especially the noise created by fireworks, vehicle horns and loud DJ sounds on the occasions of Dusshera and Ganesh Chaturthi.
This is true. Noise pollution is often not noticed compared to air or water pollution, yet its effects are as significant as them. Too much loud noise can cause sleep disruption, cardiovascular risks and impaired hearing in children. There should be strict noise regulations and public awareness to reduce this in the future.
