The reality is that there is not a black and white answer to what can be defined as noise pollution.
This is because when it comes to noise pollution there are other factors to take into consideration. Some primarily considerations are time and situation.
Some noise pollution examples are;
The sound of birds chirping .... pleasant right? .... well, at 5:30 AM which is when they usually start by me ... not so pleasant at that time .... noise pollution?
Enjoying a party, music, dancing, laughing, talking ... great fun right? ... well not if you’re the next door neighbor and you’ve got to be up early for work the next morning ... noise pollution?
Okay, one more example;
A couple sitting nearby, speaking softly to each another .... most times this wouldn’t be thought of as noise pollution, right? ... but what if you’re studying for final exams in a library ... or listening intently to a movie ... or in church ... or at a funeral service .... noise pollution? ...wow, the situation really makes all the difference, doesn’t it.
So to define or classify something as noise pollution .... generally stated, any noise, of any volume which could be deemed irritating or inappropriate because of the time and circumstances.
But definitely, any noise which can have negative effect on someone’s hearing, health, or well being would be classified as noise pollution.
