Along with history, all creatures and specifically humans have been using sound to keep in touch. Primarily, the sound was shaped according to linguistic and environmental necessaries. From another point of view, all materials and their interaction with the environment were the roots of sound likewise nowadays. Therefore, sometimes indistinct sounds without an order had existed. Mostly, indistinct sounds can irritate creatures due to their scientific structures. Basically, noise is an unwanted and unpleasant indistinct sound that can pollute habitats and cities.
Usually, noise exists as an
unsteady version of the sound. On the other hand, it is related there are
relationships caused by noise and sound intensity which is abbreviated as dB in
science with adapted information by World Health Organization. Adapted notices
by G. Whist maintained that through the influence of noise pollution with a
variable of distance to sound source and, listening duration people might be
impacted by hearing loss. D. Sawyer, Institute of Hearing Health (shared data
as dB that specific places, gadgets, and activities can be a source of
different reasons for noise pollution. For instance, aircraft, football
stadiums, traffic, etc. In addition, according to the World Health Organisation
(2018), sound intensity proportionated to listening duration causes pain and
damage which affects the auditory and the quality of life. Due to these
reasons, As European Environment Agency (EEA) considered that noise pollution
leads to vital environmental threats to health.
Mostly, the effects of noise
pollution concern independent circumstances from each other. Nevertheless,
occasionally it could refer to mortal situations or long-term inconvenience as
terrible. On the authority of European Environment Agency (EEA) considered that
there’s sort of effects like headaches, fatigue, disturbed sleep, long term
exposure causes permanent damage and, myriad downside effects worldwide.
Moreover, noise pollution at the helm of responsibility of 16,600 premature
deaths and more than half of 100.000 hospitalizations in Europe annually
according to European Environment Agency. Subsequently, datum is showed that until 2030, more
than a quarter of the world will have any hearing trouble. Thus, Turkish
Environment and Urban Planning Minister Murat Kurum said that noise pollution
addresses a significant component of life quality in cities. This quotation is
important to emphasize since Istanbul was located at fifth rank in “The World’s
Noisiest Cities” as claimed by Hearing Technologies Institute.
In summary, the effects and causes
of noise pollution have been mentioned. As a consequence, noise pollution leads
to diseases, social manner, and rapport problems, hearing ability issues across
the world nowadays and perhaps in the future. The summation of requirements of economical
and political affairs isn’t being ignored by countries instead of helping
scream of our planet. Nonetheless, we can stand on the anti-side of noise yet.
Thus, we should prevent the factors against noise pollution. Otherwise,
scientific data couldn’t predict the situation of the future as well.
