For example: Humans living near a rail road eventually learn to ignore the sound of the trains passing by. By ignoring this non harmful stimuli of a train, less energy is wasted in making an escape response.
Therefore an advantage could be is that it reduces energy loss.

An example of habituation is when you become accustomed to the sound of a ticking clock in a room and eventually stop noticing it. Initially, the sound may be noticeable and distracting, but over time, your brain filters it out as unimportant because it is constantly present.
The process in which an animal stops responding to a repeated stimulus is called habituation. Broadly defined, stimulus results in a reaction.
Habituation can lead to a decreased response to important stimuli over time, potentially causing individuals to overlook or ignore relevant information or threats. It may also hinder adaptability to changing environments or situations by influencing a rigid pattern of behavior. Additionally, habituation might reduce novelty-seeking behaviors, creativity, and exploration due to a preference for familiar stimuli.
