Because of these needs, of the so-called economic production of goods, we allow ourselves to live in a very polluted environment. Noise is one of the pollutants created by this transition, and the first that was created on the first day the machine was created and generated energy. At the same time, noise has started to cause damage to our ecosystem and ultimately have a major impact on human well-being, such as aggression, hypertension, high stress level, hearing loss and sleep disturbances. The main source of noise pollution comes from transport. , construction and industrial.
