The document then discusses the causes of noise pollution, including vehicles, industrial machinery, construction sites, loud speakers, and large events. It also covers the effects of noise pollution on human health, such as hypertension, stress, and hearing loss. Finally, it provides some techniques for controlling noise pollution, such as sound insulation, absorption, and damping, as well as reducing noise at the source during urban planning.

Loud Speaker – using loud speaker in public or private areas like residential, commercial establishment, public market, concert arena. Big Events – we all love celebrating big events such as birthdays, anniversaries, house parties, festivals.

- 9. Control of noise pollution Control of Noise Pollution by obstructing the path of Noise By constructing soundproof buildings, the menace of sound pollution can be minimized. Plants also help in controlling noise pollution because they absorb high frequency sound waves. Thus, planting trees along the roads help in controlling noise pollution.
