What are some effects of noise pollution?
G’day Jt007m, Thank you for your question. It causes hearing loss in humans as well as adding to stress. According to Wikipedia, “Noise pollution can also be harmful to wildlife . High noise levels may interfere with the natural cycles of animals, including feeding behavior, breeding rituals and migration paths. The most significant impact of noise to animal life is the systematic reduction of usable habitat, which in the case of endangered species may be an important part of the path to extinction. Perhaps the most sensational damage caused by noise pollution is the death of certain species of beached whales, brought on by the extremely loud (up to 200 decibels) sound of military sonar.” I have attached sources for your reference.
