| Paragraph - Sound Pollution |
Sound is a symptom of life. But loud
and shrill sound has become a burning problem nowadays. Normal tolerance limit
of sound for a man is 45 decibels. When this limit exceeds 45 decibels, it is
called sound pollution. Recently, sound pollution has reached at an alarming
stage in human life. Vehicle horns and indiscriminate use of loud speakers
breach the easement and cause sound pollution. These sounds are also produced
by different motor vehicles, mills, factories, buses, railways and other modern
appliances. The extent of sound pollution has already crossed the normal limits
of human tolerance. Its impact on us is so harmful that we may become gradually
deaf. The motor drivers often press the horns unnecessarily even near the hospitals,
and schools, which causes serious problem to the patients and students. Patients
can be directly affected by rising blood pressure. It causes lack of
concentration in studies. It is also extremely harmful for our hearing and
brain. Our young generation has a peculiar fascination towards listening music
at high volume. Besides, there are many hotels and shops at the roadsides and
these shops and hotels also tune their audio system loudly to attract
customers. All these cause sound pollution. Medical specialists say that sound
pollution may damage one’s hearing system permanently. However, sound pollution
must be checked to live in peace. By developing public awareness and careful
town planning sound pollution can be controlled. Besides, government should
introduce strict laws to stop sound pollution.
