It’s no secret that modernization of our world gives us remarkable benefits but it also causes a lot of pollution on this earth including
Air pollution, water pollution, and lamprey Bhushan,
Some of us already tried to watch the stars in the sky and might have even witnessed light pollution but there is one type of pollution that some of us might have noticed
It’s the one that you can’t see, can’t touch, can’t even smell
It’s the pollution of sound or we can say noise pollution
Today, there are lots of places that sound like the hell of sounds and high traffic area is, of course, one of them
What is Noise pollution?
Throughout our history sounds turned more and more into noise but let’s find out what exactly is noise pollution
One of many sounds especially ones that caused the disturbance
We hear millions of different sounds every single minute, thousands of layers on top of each other
So many that we actually are quite overwhelmed and stressed but the thing we got used to these noises, we even become addicted to it somehow in any way
Causes Of Noise Pollution
We created all source of things that makes us more effective and speed up the progress of humanity
Cara, trains, planes, ships, phones, machines, alarm bells, and the list goes on which causes noise pollution
To be honest there are a lot of modern machines
you can’t live without these technologies in the modern world without these sounds we would get up too late and would miss our important calls and all that
We Are Addicted To Noise Pollution
all we want is to have the loudest headphones, the loudest speakers, and love to go to the loudest concerts.
We relate to noise on a subjective level which is conditioned by the culture
Noise is often an impression of power
My point is
1 Why In Warly War Battles That Drummers Beat The Drums So Loud?
you might have watched Game of Thrones in Stannis Baratheon’s army his drummer beat the drums louder before attacking the king’s landings to get a powerful atmosphere
It is said that creating a powerful atmosphere help soldiers perform better
2– it’s the same reason why sports cars have loud engines, and why we think damn cool when we drive a sports car
In my opinion, we aren’t just addicted to noise but sometimes we also just try to avoid silence
Whenever we find ourselves in a quiet situation without the baffling sound of the city we try to fill the voice with other sounds, we start; listening to the music when we are on the bus or train alone sitting on a corner
Put the radio on the car while driving alone and turn on some random tv show in the background while we are at the home trying to avoid or we can say escap[e the silence
Because deep down we aren’t very used to the silence and it scares us in some ways
Gorden Hampton said
“SILENCE IS ON THE VERGE OF EXTINCTION”
Gordon Hampton’s mission is to go to some places of the world; most remote places in order to record natural and environmental sounds and to track the amount of sound pollution
According to his documentaries
There is almost no place on this earth where no noise of human machines can be heard for more than just 10 minutes
The point is the world where we live is becoming noisier and noisier
Today the average noise level of 98 decibels (dB) exceeds the value of 50 dB allowed per residential area so it’s almost twice as high as it should be and with that comes a lot of consequences
Effect Of Noise Pollution On Humans
Noise pollution has a very bad effect on us, humans, it causes the following
- High street level
- Sleep disturbance
- Focus problems
- Tinnitus
- Hearing loss
- Increased distraction
Effect Of Noise Pollution On Wildlife
Where noise pollution is affecting humans it has also affected the wildlife
With an impact on the wildlife, we don’t even have to start
As many animals rely on their sense of hearing to detect predators of prey
The risks of death increase and some species have already become instinct because of noise pollution
Conclusion
To sum it up where sound pollution has a bad effect on everyone’s life it also has a good effect
However, we should try to keep its level always down for us and the animal’s sake
