Noise Pollution:
Refers to sounds in the environment that are caused by humans that threatens the health or welfare of human or animal inhabitants. The most common source of noise pollution, the one that affects the most people on the planet, is motor vehicles. Aircraft and industrial machinery are also major sources of this problem. Additional noise pollution is contributed by office machines, sirens, power tools, and other equipment. Noise pollution is not easy to measure, because the very definition of noise depends on the context of the sound and the subjective effect it has on the people hearing it.

Where does it Happen?
Noise Pollution is rampant throughout the world, but is heavily concentrated, as you might think, in cities and industrial areas. Large Metropolises (like Hong Kong, pictured above) have the highest level of Noise pollution. As a city's economy increases, so does its construction industry. This leads to more overall noise, which can be detrimental
