In the modern era, the major
issue
encountered by the general population is the rise in the level of
noise
, which is constantly leaving a negative and detrimental impact on our lives.
This
essay will discuss the causes of increased
noise
levels and
further
outline the resolutions to address
this
issue
.
To begin
with, the foremost reason for the increased
noise
in our environment is the majority of the high-load trucks and regular vehicles being operated on the roads throughout the day, along , with the festivals and
events
carried out by the different groups of religions, all the year. In situations of traffic congestion on a busy route the vehicles keep on honking at each other, which results in the rise of unnecessary
noise
pollution
,
additionally
, the religious groups who organise
events
, most of the time tend to play
music
in
such
a high volume which is very harmful to the sensory parts of the humans
such
as ears. These causes of
noise
pollution
can be proven by a recent report published by the prestigious University of India, concluding that people living around or near busy roads face 23% of hearing loss,
as well as
the flocks who attend religious festivals, experience damage of around 30% to their ear drums.
In order to counter the rising problem of
noise
pollution
, several schemes should be implemented,
such
as car-sharing,
also
improving public transportation will result in less car ownership which will directly decrease the
issue
of
noise
levels. The government should
also
impose strict laws on religious
events
,
such
as the safe hearing capacity of a human begins is around 70 dB, In the same way, no groups of people should be allowed to play
music
exceeding the volume of 70 dB. A survey conducted by the local council in India stated that the introduction of an efficient car-pooling scheme and improving public vehicles resulted in controlling more than 50% of the
noise
pollution
in the city,
as well as
after introducing a limit of 70 decibels on the
music
being played in
events
another 20% of
noise
level was decreased.
In conclusion, the rising
noise
pollution
is a major concern. Appropriate steps and rules
such
as car-pooling and imposing limits on the level of
music
can result in lowering
this
issue
.
