Environmental Noise Control

Environmental Noise Control involves reducing unwanted sound in our surroundings to improve quality of life and health. It includes strategies like designing buildings with better sound insulation, using noise barriers near busy roads, and implementing regulations to limit loud activities. The goal is to minimize noise pollution's impacts, such as stress, hearing loss, and disturbance to wildlife. Efforts are based on understanding sources of noise, how sound travels, and where it is most disruptive. These measures help create quieter, more comfortable communities while respecting both human and environmental needs.
