Noise Pollution is displeasing human or machine created sound that disrupts the activity or balance of human or animal life. The source of most noise worldwide is transportation systems, motor vehicle noise, but also including aircraft noise and rail noise. Other sources are car alarms, office equipment, factory machinery, construction work, grounds-keeping equipment, barking dogs, appliances, power tools, lighting hum, audio entertainment systems, loudspeakers and noisy people.
Noise pollution can cause annoyance and aggression, hypertension, high stress levels, tinnitus, hearing loss, sleep disturbances and other harmful effects. Furthermore, stress and hypertension are the leading causes to health problems, whereas tinnitus can lead to forgetfulness, severe depression and at times panic attacks.
The present book looks at all these issues closely, and tries to find concrete resolutions to them. It is hoped that this book, with its wide-ranging and in-depth content, critical insights and detailed analysis of the issue, prove to be immensely resourceful to the readers.
