Be careful of Noise Pollution

Noise is defined as the wrong sound in the wrong place at the wrong time. Noise was always been with us, since the days of Adam. But it never was so loud, so intense, so varied and so intolerable as it is now. Noise in the present day has become a grave environmental hazard. Noise of high frequency is very dangerous.

The noise in excess of 85 to 90 decibels can lead to hearing impairment. Indeed, repeated exposure to a headset-recorder played at maximum volume can lead to partial or total deafness.

This unwanted sound, “noise” is an atmospheric pollution resulted from increased industrialisation and technological advances. A soft sound stimulates the brain and a harsh, loud noise damages the hearing and impairs the brain function.

The main sources of noise are industrial and non-industrial type. The former includes transportation and on road vehicular movements; while the latter include noise due to hawkers, use of loud speakers, thunder, domestic appliances and many more.

So, stay away from excess noise and lead a peaceful life.
