Study Notes
Noise Pollution
Types of Noise Pollution
Traffic Noise
- Caused by vehicles, traffic congestion, and road infrastructure
- One of the most common sources of noise pollution
- Can cause sleep disturbance, cardiovascular disease, and decreased quality of life
- Mitigation strategies: traffic calming measures, noise barriers, and quieter road surfaces
Industrial Noise
- Generated by factories, manufacturing plants, and construction activities
- Can cause permanent hearing loss, tinnitus, and cardiovascular disease
- Common sources: machinery, generators, and ventilation systems
- Mitigation strategies: noise reduction technologies, acoustic enclosures, and regular maintenance
Aircraft Noise
- Caused by takeoffs, landings, and flyovers
- Affects people living near airports and under flight paths
- Can cause sleep disturbance, anxiety, and decreased quality of life
- Mitigation strategies: noise abatement procedures, soundproofing, and flight route adjustments
Construction Noise
- Generated by building, demolition, and excavation activities
- Can cause noise disturbance, sleep disruption, and decreased quality of life
- Common sources: heavy machinery, drilling, and pile driving
- Mitigation strategies: noise restrictions, sound barriers, and scheduling adjustments
Neighborhood Noise
- Caused by loud gatherings, music, and other residential activities
- Can cause noise disturbance, sleep disruption, and decreased quality of life
- Common sources: loudspeakers, parties, and domestic disputes
- Mitigation strategies: noise ordinances, mediation, and community outreach programs
