Environmental noise management

Environmental noise management involves assessing, controlling, and reducing noise pollution to protect public health and well-being. It includes identifying sources like traffic, industry, or construction, measuring noise levels, and implementing strategies such as noise barriers, restrictions on loud activities, and urban planning to minimize disturbance. The goal is to balance development with quality of life by ensuring noise levels remain within safe limits, preventing stress, sleep disruption, and other health issues. Effective management often involves collaboration among governments, industries, and communities to create quieter, healthier environments.
