    single or multiple frequencies can produce a
    Sound.

  • Noise is unwanted sound judged to be unpleasant,
    loud or disruptive to hearing.
  • The unbearable volume or voice or sound that is
    not suitable for human ear.

WHAT IS NOISE POLLUTION?
  •  Noise pollution or sound pollution refers to the
    presence of excessive and disturbing noise (from
    machines, transportation systems, aircrafts,
    trains, etc) in the environment that is very
    harmful to the physical and mental health of the
    living beings on earth.

5
SOURCES OF NOISE POLLUTION
  • Transportation systems
  • Construction of buildings, highways, and streets.
  • Bulldozers,digging machines,etc
  • Vehicle horn,noise from silenecer of a bike,etc

6
SOURCES OF NOISE POLLUTION
  • INDUSTRIAL NOISE-
  • Loud speakers, plumbing, boilers, generators.
  • air conditioners, fans, and vacuum cleaners.

7
SOURCES OF NOISE POLLUTION
  • HOUSEHOLD SOURCES-
  • Food Mixer,Grinder
  • Vacuum Cleaner
  • Washing machine and Dryer
  • Air Conditioner,Straighter and curlers
  • Cooler
  • Loud speaker
  • Neighbor's Barking Dog

8
EFFECTS OF NOISE POLLUTION ON HUMANS
  • Chronic exposure to noise may cause noise-induced
    hearing loss. Older males exposed to significant
    occupational noise demonstrate significantly
    reduced hearing sensitivity than their
    non-exposed peers .

9
EFFECTS OF NOISE POLLUTION ON HUMANS
  • Unwanted noise can damage physiological and
    psychological health.
  • Noise pollution can cause annoyance and
    aggression, hypertension, high stress levels,
    hearing loss, sleep distrubances, and other
    harmful effects.

10
EFFECTS OF NOISE POLLUTION ON HUMANS
  • High noise levels can contribute to
    cardiovascular effects and exposure to moderately
    high levels during a single eight hour period
    causes a statistical rise in blood pressure.

11
EFFECTS OF NOISE POLLUTION ON HUMANS
  • Hearing problems

12
DISEASES CAUSED BY NOISE POLLUTION
  • High blood pressure
  • Heart attack
  • Deafness
  • Annoyance
  • Stress
  • Anxiety
  • Insomnia

EFFECTS ON ANIMALS
  • Damages nervous system
  • Altering prey detection
  • Creates problem in navigation
  • They become dangerous and attacking
  • Raise metabollism
  • Genetic and evolutionary problems

15
MARINE LIFE AFFECTED DUE TO SHIPS AND THEIR NOISE
16
EFFECTS ON ENVIRONMENT
  • Breakage of earth barrier
  • Poor quality crops
  • Damages bulidings, bridgesand monuments
  • Weakness the edifice of buildings

17
CASE STUDY-PUNE THE NOISIEST CITY OF MAHARSHTRA
  • According to the report, while the prescribed
    daytime noise limit for industrial areas is 75
    decibel (dB), the recorded level of noise in such
    areas of Pune stood at 84.8 dB. For commercial
    areas, Pune city recorded 86.7 dB, as against the
    prescribed limit of 65 dB.
  • Even in residential areas, the daytime record was
    78.7 dB, against the prescribed limit of 55 dB.

MACHINE USED TO MEASURE NOISE POLLUTION
  • The most common instruments used for measuring
    noise are the sound level meter(SLM), the
    integrating sound level meter (ISLM), and the
    noise dosimeter.
  • Most commanly used for vehicles with loud honks
    and silencers.

21
WAYS TO CONTROL NOISE POLLUTION
  • Sound insulation
  • Sound absorption
  • Vibration damping
  • Vibration isolation
  • Urban planning
  • Public awareness and education

22
CONCLUSION- To protect healthy life, there is
an urgent need to come up with an enforceable law
on noise pollution in each state.
