In the words of Mother Teresa “We need to find God,
and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness.
God is the friend of silence. We need silence to be
able to touch souls”. Noise is derived from the Latin
word “nausea” implying 'unwanted sound' or 'sound
that is loud, unpleasant or unexpected'. The noise
originates from human activities, especially
development of transport, industry and the
urbanization. Human activities create sounds in their
surroundings through their propensity for work
1
place/industrialization and urbanization. The noise
pollution is thought to be slow and subtle killer, still it
is not perceived as it is and yet very little efforts have
been made to ameliorate the Problem. It is also
adding along with other types of pollution which has
2
become a hazard to quality of life.
Majority of sounds can be classified as essential and
desirable, but abuse of the sounds for various
purposes such as in unregulated industries, social
events, transportation, construction activities
household chores and poor urban planning create
noise. In general sounds that we deem unwanted or
3
unnecessary are considered to be noise. A better
definition of noise is wrong sound in the wrong place
at the wrong time. Our society is affected by noise,
which is invasive, persistent and abundant, most
important of all, it is unhealthy. Now is the right time
to realize that how big this problem is and how to
4
address it.
