Urban Noise

Urban noise refers to the sounds commonly found in city environments, such as traffic, construction, machinery, and people. This noise can be disruptive and affects the quality of life for residents by interfering with sleep, communication, and relaxation. It is measured in decibels, and prolonged exposure to high levels can lead to health issues, including stress and hearing loss. Efforts to manage urban noise include urban planning, noise barriers, and regulations on construction hours, aiming to create a more peaceful living environment amidst the hustle and bustle of city life.
