WHO Guidelines for Community Noise

The WHO Guidelines for Community Noise provide recommendations to manage and reduce noise pollution in urban areas. They highlight the negative health impacts of excessive noise, such as stress, sleep disturbances, and hearing loss. The guidelines suggest acceptable noise levels for different environments, like residential areas and schools, and emphasize the importance of quiet spaces for overall well-being. By promoting better urban planning and noise control measures, the WHO aims to improve public health and enhance the quality of life in communities.
