Noise pollution and urbanisation are strongly linked to each other in the today’s modern society. Our nation is a developing nation, as urban areas grow the traffic, industrial sector, construction and many social activities also grow . This can lead to negative impacts on our environment, human health and even animals also such as disturbance in sleep pattern of people which further lead to stress and disrupted lifestyle. Today study had also shown that prolonged exposure to high level of noise can impact cognitive development in infants, affecting their ability to learn and concentrate . Animals are also under the trap of noise pollution their natural habitat get disrupted causing them to abandon breeding grounds , they also face problem in communication with the local mates and avoid predators . Just like human beings animals suffer from stress-related health. We can control noise pollution by taking regulatory measures. I believe the best practice for controlling it is Zoning laws.

-We can observe industries which produce so much noise and ask them to move to area where residential area is far.

-We can put limits on noise levels of different type of environment such as commercial, industrial and residential areas.

-Implement traffic calming measures such as putting up speed limits and traffic flow.

-The use of green spaces such as parks, green belt and vegetation which absorb and buffer noise.

All these measures can give benefit to all residents and wildlife .By implementing these measures comprehensively can effectively mitigate noise pollution and make urban areas more liveable.
