Noise Pollution Awareness

Noise pollution occurs when there is excessive noise or unpleasant sounds that disrupt natural balance. Everyday noises from traffic, music, appliances, and even pets have become normal parts of urban life. However, when noise prevents sleep or causes headaches, it stops being just noise and starts polluting. Noise pollution is defined as temporary disruption caused by either too much noise or unnatural sounds in their volume or production. Understanding noise pollution is important to curb it through better urban planning and reducing exposure to unwanted sounds.

THE SECOND TERM TEST

Read the text carefully then do the activities.

Most of us are very used to the sounds we hear in everyday life. Loud music, the
television, people talking on their phone, the traffic and even pets barking in the middle of the
night. All of these have become a part of the urban culture and rarely disturb us. However,
when the sound of the television keeps you from sleeping all night or the traffic starts to give
you a headache, it stops becoming just noise and start turning into noise pollution. For many of
us, the concept of pollution is limited to nature and resources. However, noise that tends to
disrupt the natural rhythm of life makes for one solid pollutant.

By definition, noise pollution takes place when there is either excessive amount of noise
or an unpleasant sound that causes temporary disruption in the natural balance. This definition
is usually applicable to sounds or noises that are unnatural in either their volume or their
production. Our environment is such noisy that it has become difficult to escape noise. Even
electrical appliances at home have a constant hum or beeping sound. By and large, lack of
urban planning increases the exposure to unwanted sounds. This is why understanding noise
pollution is necessary to curb it in time.
