Most people have underrated the impact of noise pollution towards our ecosystem.

If people
asking why, this is because it is an unseen threat. Noise can be described as unwanted and excessive
sound that can have deleterious effects on human health and environmental quality. Nowadays, silence
is golden. For people to live in a noise-free environment has become very hard especially in the urban
area to escape from all the construction, mechanical, and vehicle sounds, which is human-made noise.
Noise-free environment is an environment that comes with nature created, such as thunder, birds’
chirping, which are a complex information network. Therefore, we need alternative ways to be
proposed, after all the sources of noise have been identified and whom will get affected by it.

All human-made sounds, which is excessive and disturbing are the source of pollution, these
include the industrialization, poor urban planning, social events, transportation, construction activities
and household chores.(Conserve Energy Future) Industrialization have become an ear pain to the
society. As we acknowledge, the machineries used were producing a large amount of noise but the only
one who were the ear plug are the workers. But how about the society and animals? Do they need to
wear it every single time? The environment near the factories in land and also near the platform of oil
and gas explorations are surely had enough of it. Another scene that people have faced worldwide is
poor urban planning. In a developing countries for example, some of the netizen are very selfish and
can’t be tolerate to each other, therefore cause a fight over a little problem such as parking and basic
amenities which also will disrupt the environment. The last simple one is transportation. Almost
everyone dreams to have a car of course, but how much did you know the effect when there is an
increase in amount of cars? In land, we have encountered many headache traffic jams, recklessly
honking vehicles, and trains, while in marine ecosystem, they have to endure the noise that ship
produced especially when it going through the ice-filled way.

These wrecking nerve kind of noise could harm our environment in various way if it expose in
a certain level of frequencies. As for mankind, besides having the hearing problem, sleeping disorder is
quite high in an urban living society. This is because, the sleeping pattern would unconsciously
disturbed your whole life routine as it influenced your psychological health, in terms of behaviour,
constant stress and hypertension. Gradually, it will reduce your working and lifestyle performance. The
older netizen will surely feel it the most, as it is also develop a cardiovascular issues. Exposure to high
intensity of noise will cause high blood pressure as it disrupts the blood flow pattern and therefore
increase the heartbeat. Can you imagine if we are exposed frequently? At this point, the heart related
problem will be at stake. If you ever encounter this kind of situation, do not ignore it. The pattern could
be manageable depend on how we tackle it.

People have to embrace the ecosystem given to us, which include the animals in three
categories, flying species, land species, and marine species. If we try to see our nature a little closer,
have you really seen a lot of species flying in our sky? Due to the noise pollution generated in the city,
several species need to adjust their vocal call to be heard among them, this is proved by the male great
tits, where they have change the their frequency over the anthropogenic noise. However, the females
prefer lower frequency calls in selecting their mate, but it will be hard to be heard. This result in decline
of species, as lower breeding activities from the species. Plus, the birds also need to be sing at the night
time, which is quitter when they should be sleeping. This will ultimately change the behavioural
patterns. The same goes for the land species, such as frog. For the marine life, they also experienced
difficulties with noise pollution. The noise produced by the shipping traffic, oil and gas exploration and
the seismic surveys have cause their mating, hunting, and communicating patterns to be changed. For
example, mammals such as whales and dolphins define their lives through acoustic information to
navigate and observe their surroundings to picture better, especially during the migration. However, it
have been badly polluted.

When we encountered those problem, a solution should be taken seriously before the worst
scenarios, where diseases society developed and affect the economy level of the country for medical
purposes and also affect the tourism sectors. For the animals view, some of the species might gone for
good such as in current situation, and damage the ecosystem of our nature. Therefore, we should be
focusing on using low noise emitting machines and equipment as our priority. Places with high
frequency sound produced should be equipped with sound-proof buildings and the staff handling such
machines should use sound absorber ear plugs. Besides, all the society living in the area should be
notify, and have an agreement on how it can benefits both parties. Last, but not least more trees should
be planted along the roads as they help in reducing noise pollution by serving as sound absorbers.
