Acoustic noise

Acoustic noise refers to unwanted or disturbing sound that is audible to humans. It is produced by various sources such as machinery, electronic devices, transportation, or environmental factors like wind and traffic. Noise can vary in volume, pitch, and duration, and often affects comfort, communication, and health. In technical terms, noise is a random or unpredictable sound wave that can interfere with desired sounds or signals. Managing acoustic noise involves reducing its intensity or controlling its transmission to minimize its impact on people and environments.
