Abstract

Noise pollution, often overshadowed by more visible forms of environmental degradation, is a significant but frequently underestimated threat to public health and well-being. Defined as the excessive or harmful levels of noise in the environment, noise pollution originates from a variety of sources, including transportation systems, industrial activities, and urban areas. This article explores the causes, effects, and solutions related to noise pollution, emphasizing its impact on human health, wildlife, and the environment.
