And you\u2019ll find it interesting that this ties in pretty easily with the traditional definition of noise as \u201cunwanted or disturbing sound\u201d. In other words, sounds that nauseate or disgust.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Noise pollution?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a bit difficult (impossible even) to come up with a <a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/fighting-noise-pollution\/\">definition of noise or noise pollution<\/a> that enjoys unanimous acceptability among all people. But for our purposes, we\u2019ll stick to one which defines noise pollution based on how much damage they cause to living organisms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[demo]<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency USEPA:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sound becomes <\/span>unwanted<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when it either interferes with normal activities such as sleeping, and conversation or if it disrupts or diminishes one\u2019s quality of life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fact that you can\u2019t see, taste or smell it may help explain why it has not received as much attention as other types of pollution, such as air pollution, or water pollution but be rest assured it\u2019s there and it\u2019s just as important as other types of pollution. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2598\" src=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/road-construction-192894_1920.jpg\" alt=\"noise pollution from road construction\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><strong>World Health Organization<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, sound levels less than 70 dB are not damaging to living organisms, regardless of how long or consistent the exposure is. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, exposure to constant noise above 85 dB more upwards of 8 to 10 hours might be hazardous. If you live or work for 8 or more hours daily in close proximity to a busy road or highway or generally a <a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/communicating-in-noisy-environment\/\">noisy environment<\/a>, chances are that you\u2019ll get exposed to traffic noise pollution of about 85 dB (which is higher than the WHO limit.)<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sources of noise pollution<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><b>&#8211; Vehicle and Transportation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the World Health Organization, road traffic is the biggest cause of noise pollution in most cities, and typically noise levels increase with higher traffic volumes and speeds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Noise is caused by automobiles, motorcycles, trains, airplanes, helicopters, etc. Even sirens from police cars, ambulance or emergency vehicles contribute significantly to the amount of noise in the environment at any given time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>&#8211; Everyday Sounds<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are sources of noise that are ubiquitous and can be encountered almost on a daily basis. They are so commonplace that we longer even see them as noise sources, our brains no longer register some of them as sources of noise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Household devices like washing machines and dryers, vacuum cleaners, air conditioners, food mixers, grinders, cooler, and so on can generate a lot of noise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2599\" src=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/grass-1840929_1920.jpg\" alt=\"noise from a lawn mower\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1271\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other sources include loudspeakers of sound systems, lawn mowers, music players, and televisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or it might even be your neighbor\u2019s dog barking incessantly all night, every single night without fail, disturbing your sleep and that of everyone else in the apartment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>&#8211; Social Events<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social events might not happen every day, but they do happen once in a while and when they do, be rest assured that they pack a lot of loudspeaker, noise, and generally constitute a nuisance to people who live or work in the area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples might include parties, discos, concerts and gigs, places of worship and other social events.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>&#8211; Commercial and industrial activities<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you work in construction, in manufacturing, or on the farm you know first-hand how much noise can be generated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You do all things ranging from blasting rocks at quarries to drilling holes into concrete with a jackhammer and working with a tractor. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of Frogs and Snakes (Some noise might be helpful after all)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes noise is a good thing, a loud smoke detector alarm that jolts you from sleep and alerts you to a cloud of smoke and an impending fire is a life saver. So is the scary growl which warns you of imminent danger of being mauled by a bear if you venture in the direction of the noise. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But perhaps one of the most subtle and most elegant ways that <a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/background-noise-and-productivity\/\">beneficial noise<\/a> manifests itself is in the case of the red-eyed tree frogs, a species of frogs that can be found in neotropical rainforests anywhere from Mexico to Columbia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And here\u2019s what you\u2019ll find remarkable about them:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The red-eyed tree frogs fast-forward their births in order to escape death. Sounds a bit confusing? Bear with me as I break it down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See, under normal circumstances, their hatching period lasts anywhere from 4 to 7 days. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But when the eggs sense that a predator is about to attack them, embryos in the eggs expel themselves &#8211;even though it\u2019s well before hatching time&#8211; and start hopping away for dear life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A team of researchers affiliated with Boston University spent a lot of years in Panama studying why and how these eggs are able to to do that. Do they run because they see the predator? Obviously no. They are still in the eggshell. Do they smell the predators, or is it something beyond human reasoning?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what&#8217;s the answer? <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to their research is that the embryos have an innate ability to detect vibration or noise patterns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snakes are one of their deadliest enemies when a snake strikes at the clutch of eggs, it physically disturbs the clutch and sets off noise vibrations, and before you know it, the embryos start jumping out of their shells and running like their lives depend on it. (because it actually does)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what&#8217;s even more surprising about the research:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team realized that rainstorms also produced noise vibrations with the same frequency as the snake strikes. But during rainstorms, the embryos do not switch on \u201cemergency hatching\u201d mode.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how do the eggs tell the difference between both noise?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It turns out, as the snake reaches for an egg and recoils to savor its catch it sets off a regular on-off patterned noise which tips off the eggs to switch to emergency hatching mode immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But for rainstorms, the noise occurs randomly and not in an on and off fashion. A sign telling the frogs that everything is fine and they can keep maturing in their eggs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is silence all it\u2019s cracked up to be?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bad as noise is, can we eliminate it in its entirety? Is that even possible?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes it is.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts call it the anechoic chamber (literally the chamber with no echo) it\u2019s able to achieve that <a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/noise-or-silence\/\">level of silence<\/a> because the walls, floor, and ceiling are made with a specific material that has been found to absorb sound in its entirety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The chamber is so quiet, that while in it, you can hear the gushing sound of your blood as it flows through your own veins and arteries.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1094\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1094\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1094\" src=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/p0542kvm.jpg\" alt=\"anechoic chamber \" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1094\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Microsoft<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The longest anyone has ever been able to stay in there? 45 minutes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When they let them out, a lot of people reported that too much quiet was driving them crazy or it was making them hallucinate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turns out lack of sensory input makes the mind hallucinate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, while in there you have to be seated or else you might lose your orientation in space and fall that\u2019s because your ear plays an integral role in how the body maintains balance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So would it be a good idea to eliminate all noise? No, it would drive the human mind crazy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can noise pollution kill you? Health effects of noise<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In simple terms, YES. Exposure ( or sustained exposure) to noise at damaging levels has been found <a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/background-noise-impact\/\">to adversely affect our health<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> And what makes it even more deadly is that it kills you clandestinely, because it works slowly in the background so much so that you hardly even notice it. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>&#8211; Heart disease<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who, in their wildest fantasies, would have thought that noise pollution could have anything to do with a heart attack? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Well as it turns out, epidemiological studies suggest that people chronically exposed to high levels of road or air traffic noise stand a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, including high blood pressure and myocardial infarction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar studies, also show that every year long-term exposure to traffic noise accounts for about 210,000 coronary heart disease (CHD) deaths in Europe \u2013 that\u2019s about 600 deaths per day just because of noise. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the bad news is:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average Joe currently being exposed to noise probably doesn&#8217;t know he&#8217;s damaging his heart. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>&#8211; Hearing Loss<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You probably already know this because it\u2019s pretty intuitive. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And you might have even experienced it before, ever stepped away (after being there for a while) from a quarry or manufacturing site or a construction site or just about any place rich in noise only for you to feel as though someone put cotton balls in your ears and you can\u2019t hear well. This is known as temporary deafness and it usually leaves after a while.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But with prolonged continuous exposure to a confusing assortment of noises, there comes a time when your clogged ear sensation becomes permanent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you can no longer hear the speech of others clearly; someone might say the word \u201ccopy\u201d and you would think they said \u201ccoffee\u201d. And it often gets progressively worse with time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People who live in noise-free regions often have better ears.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a bid to provide scientific evidence to support this, Dr. Samuel Rosen, a New York ear specialist, decided to seek out such people. So in 1961, he went off to visit the Mabaan tribe in Southeast Khartoum one of the most noise-free regions of Africa. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After conducting extensive audio tests on them, Rosen concluded that the hearing of members of the Mabaan tribe at the age of 70 was often superior to that of Americans in their 20s (and that was in 1961!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So good was their hearing that \u00a0\u201cTwo Mabaans standing 300 feet apart, or the length of a football field, can carry on a conversation in a soft voice with their backs turned.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>&#8211; Children, Infants, and Fetuses<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Noise pollution has long since been reported to have serious negative effects on the intelligence of kids. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Study upon study has shown that the closer children lived to noisy areas the less intelligent they were.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One disturbing study showed that the closer children lived to the noisy airport in Frankfurt, Germany, the lower their intelligence was.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is further corroborated by a similar study, conducted on children living in public high-rise housing above the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago, that study also found that the closer these children\u2019s floors were to the highway, the poorer they performed on school tests<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infants and fetuses aren\u2019t left out, research has shown that when pregnant women expose themselves to noise a fetus\u2019 hearing faculty may get damaged in-utero.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can noise pollution be controlled?<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><b>1. Close the windows. <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sounds ridiculously simple? You\u2019d be surprised at how many people fail to do this. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By simply closing your windows, you can drastically cut down the amount of noise that enter your homes and buildings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you must open your windows for fresh air, be careful to only do so in the quieter parts of the day. (This varies depending on where you live).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Use earplugs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is especially important if you work in manufacturing, construction or just about any other sector that uses noisy machinery. Wearing earplugs is a cost-effective way to reduce the amount of noise that hits your eardrums.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same holds true for people who work close to concert venues.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Use insulation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way to control noise is by installing soundproofing materials on walls, ceilings, and floors. The use of double-glazed windows can also help absorb noise.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Invest in noise-cancelling headphones.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/choose-noise-cancelling-headphones\/\">Noise cancelling headphones<\/a> especially the <a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/sony-vs-bose-vs-bowerswilkins\/\">active noise cancelling headphones<\/a> are most\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">effective against continuous noise like the hum from machinery or airplane engines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the name suggests, the headphone is designed to neutralize noise before they even get to your ears. And you don&#8217;t have to worry whether the noise cancelling technology is safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2601 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tanner-boriack-518463-unsplash-1.jpg\" alt=\"headphones \" width=\"5184\" height=\"3888\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is noise cancelling circuitry involved for processing the sound and creating an anti-sound, but it <a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/noise-cancelling-damage-hearing\/\">does not damage your hearing<\/a>. If anything, it helps you avoid noise pollution and protect your hearing even better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Declaring a \u201cno horn zone\u201d in some areas<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horns have different sounds, loudness, and intensities but the common denominator among them all is that they all cause noise pollution. Declaring a horn-free zone in schools, hospitals, and residential areas \u00a0will also help reduce the noise pollution.<br \/>\nIt also helps to have silence policies in offices or <a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/coworking-space-tools\/\">coworking spaces<\/a>. It can last for an hour or two but it will help everyone focus on their tasks a lot easier and get work done faster.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to complain about noise pollution<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re not enjoying a good night\u2019s sleep because your neighbor\u2019s dogs bark incessantly through the night, this section might be for you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep deprivation makes us tired and irritable during the day. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And nobody should have to live with that. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what do you do? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step is to do a quick research and find laws and ordinances that prohibit excessive, harmful and unnecessary noise in your community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you do find it, make sure they apply to the area where you live, also pay particular attention to the times of the day when there&#8217;s supposed to be a general quiet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2602\" src=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/bells-2651369_1920.jpg\" alt=\"quiet area to avoid noise\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, most cities have a noise level they consider to be acceptable and anything above that is prohibited, if you know what decibel is acceptable, you can download and install apps on your smartphone to measure the decibel levels of your neighbor\u2019s noise and if they are above the allowed limits of your area you can lodge a complaint with your local police department. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s very little more to say, so just a quick recap:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve successfully gone through all the most important things you need to know noise pollution, viz: its sources, how to control it, how it harms and how to lodge complaints against noisemakers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Armed with this knowledge, I hope you\u2019ll be willing to help us win the fight against noise pollution.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Noise pollution is a real problem and it&#8217;s everywhere &#8211; it&#8217;s time we learn more about it and learn to fight against it.
