How can noise be kind of pollution?

Answer 1

Pollution can fall into several different catagories. Chemical pollution is the one most people think of first. However, there can be physical pollution (dust created by a mining operation), biological pollution (mould spores), and pollution involving the senses. You have visual pollution (too many billboards along a highway), auditory pollution (loud or irritating sounds), and olfactory pollution (odors from piggeries or dairy barns). I suppose you could also have tactile pollution (too many people hugging or kissing you at a family reunion).

Noise can be kind of pollution.. If it's all you here, Noise at the level that you can't here anything else.. Then it's noise pollution..

If you go in to a room and the music is so loud that when you come out, you can't hear a thing, you go deaf.. You have to ask everyone , "What did you say." Then the loud music, which is in excessively loud.. It becomes kind of a noise pollution..

Answer 3

One dictionary term says that Pollution is an "introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment". Noise can be a kind of pollution because it can be harmful at times. Airport noise is a form of noise pollution. The noise is very loud and can be harmful to your ears, even to the envirnoment. The noise can disrupt birds and/or animals that rely on noise vibrations for survival or location. Thus, emitting a harmful "product" or vibration into the environment, which pollutes living things.
