Noise is a physical form of pollution which is not directly harmful to the life supporting systems. It is not fatal to human life, yet its effects cannot be overlooked because repeated exposure to noise reduces the sleeping hours, productivity or efficiency of a human being and it affects the peace of mind and invades the privacy of a human being.
