Noise pollution

Noise pollution is when too much noise is produced by things like factories, cars, airplanes, and other machines. Loud noise can be very annoying and it can also be bad for our health. It can give us headaches, make it hard to think and sleep, cause hearing problems, and even make us sick. To reduce noise pollution, we can try to use quieter machines, keep cars and airplanes away from city centers, and take steps to make sure construction and repair work only takes place at certain times of the day.
