Noise pollution and their effects on Environment

[dollyy]

Noise can have a detrimental effect on animals by causing stress, increasing risk of death by changing the delicate balance in predator/prey detection and avoidance, and by interfering with their use of sounds in communication especially in relation to reproduction and in navigation. Acoustic overexposure can lead to temporary or permanent loss of hearing.
An impact of noise on animal life is the reduction of usable habitat that noisy areas may cause, which in the case of endangered species may be part of the path to extinction. Noise pollution has caused the death of certain species of whales that beached themselves after being exposed to the loud sound of military sonar.
Noise also makes species communicate louder, which is called Lombard vocal response. Scientists and researchers have conducted experiments that show whales' song length is longer when submarine-detectors are on. If creatures don't "speak" loud enough, their voice will be masked by anthropogenic sounds. These unheard voices might be warnings, finding of prey, or preparations of net-bubbling. When one species begins speaking louder, it will mask other species' voice, causing the whole ecosystem to eventually speak louder.
European Robins living in urban environments are more likely to sing at night in places with high levels of noise pollution during the day, suggesting that they sing at night because it is quieter, and their message can propagate through the environment more clearly.Interestingly, the same study showed that daytime noise was a stronger predictor of nocturnal singing than night-time Light pollution, to which the phenomenon is often attributed.
Zebra finches become less faithful to their partners when exposed to traffic noise. This could alter a population's evolutionary trajectory by selecting traits, sapping resources normally devoted to other activities and thus lead to profound genetic and evolutionary consequences.

Is not a danger to the animals only but also the human

[rencalago]

noise pollution is indeed can cause health problems to human and animals. It interfere the balance of nature. Noise pollution comes from factories, cars, engines, etc.. are harmful not just to human but also other living creatures that we share our environment with.

This is a very interesting subject. Few years ago, I read a very interesting article about the beginning of noise as we know it.

I would like to thank you all for your contribution

Noise pollution is the human-created noise which is harmful to health or welfare. Transportation vehicles are the worst offenders, with aircraft, railroad stock, trucks, buses, automobiles, and motorcycles all producing excessive noise. Construction equipment, e.g., jackhammers and bulldozers, also produce substantial noise pollution.

Jesus was very important though...krishna had been gone for so long..maybe Christ really was the supreme personality at that time.

The laws to curb noise pollution either stress on general prohibition on making noise or set specific guidelines to curb the same. In some places, making noise is completely prohibited, while in others it is prohibited for a specific time of the day (from 10 P.M. to 6 A.M.) or only to a particular level as far as the its intensity is concerned.

As for the impact of noise pollution on the environment it has been proved that it increases the mortality rate among animal species and it affects the balance in the natural occurring phenomena that rule the animal and plant world. Thus, animals find themselves disturbed in terms of communicating with each other for mating purposes, and moreover, they develop real navigation problems due to the unnatural sound level. The “voice” of the animals should therefore be loud enough to cover the man-made sounds; ultimately this would change the entire balance in the ecosystem.

It's beautiful and wonderful information already Thanks for the post and the additive

Pollution have many different type like air pollution, water pollution and so on If I talk about noise pollution than Its dangerous for environment as well as people's health. There are many different type of noise pollution like air craft, vehicles, any occasion in music party and so on. Its effects on animal, people health and so on.

Sometimes, even low levels of noise are irritating and can be frustrating, and high volumes can be annoying. Natural sounds are less irritating than those we find uncontrollable but intermittent sounds such as a tap dripping water can be more irritating than the sound of falling rain.

Nothing weird weather yet. But last summer is really a weird weather here, because summer should be sunny days but we experience hard rainy days during summer. That is the effect of the pollution in our environment that causes global warming.

Thanks for it and elaborate a little more: Noise pollution describes any sound created by people, animals, and machines that disturbs the environment.

[abbicory]

When unwanted sound created by human beings hits our ears and disturbs the environment, noise pollution is created. Chiefly, noise pollution comes from barking dogs, loud music, vehicles, aircraft and rail transport, air-conditioners, factories, amplified music and construction work.Many noise problems can be prevented by considering others and talking through problems. Be a good and concerned neighbor by discussing a common problem calmly and in a collaborative spirit to find a common solution.

Noise pollution effects a lots on our environment. Hence, its our responsibility to take preventive measures to avoid the damages being done on our environment. I would like to share that when you are buying generators to generate electricity to your home or office, make sure that you are buying one which produces very less noise and uses inexhaustible energy sources like solar energy.
