Noise pollution is a very, very loud noise that makes us irritated, stressed and distracting. It is very harmful to people and animals. That is way it is very important to learn how to protect ourselves. The noise is the product of modern civilization and industrialization.

cause and effect?

The examples for noise pollution are many: cars passing by, airplanes, traffic, horns, sirens, alarms, loud people, children playing, barking dogs, building constructions, factories, industries, etc. Every day we meet with noise pollution, but not every sound will harm us. In order to harm us, we need to be exposed to loud noise for quite a long period or be in the middle of a gun shoot or big explosion. For example, after a night in a disco club or a concert we will hear a whistle which a signal that we were exposed to noise pollution. Long exposure to noise can lead to hearing loss. Although in the beginning people are not aware of it the final phase is to become deaf. 

how do we measure noise pollution?

The noise is measured in decibels. For example, sounds that reach 60 decibels are the sounds of a normal conversation. A whisper would be 20 decibels. Everything that passes 70 decibels is irritating and can provoke damage to people’s health and you might even become death.

There are two types of noise, industrial and non-industrial noise. The industrial noise is the noise made by the factories, big machines, etc. The non-industrial noise is the traffic noise, concerts, people yelling, children playing in the park, did you now that sound travels even under water if sound can travel under water it means that even the oceans have sound pollution so fish are even annoyed by the sound and they can even feel it.

Noise pollution can provoke headache, stress, fatigue, insomnia, aggressiveness and physical problems. Noise pollution affects animals and children too. It makes them irritated and nervous. 

Not always the people thought of noise pollution as a problem. Nowadays, there are laws and methods of prevention. The laws suggest to build houses far away from highways, airports and stadiums. People who work in construction or factories should wear earplugs. The buildings can be protected with different types of isolation.

conclusion:

In conclusion, this is a very big problem in the world because it affects human and animal life. We can buy machinery that makes less noise and government could put some rules that in certain periods of a day workers should not work in order not to make more noise. There also should be some laws that protect children from noise. In my opinion, there should be more information about noise pollution. I believe that children in school should be educated about the causes and consequences of the noise pollution. It is important that the government raises awareness about this problem and do all they possibly can in order to protect people's health.
