Noise pollution requires two thing: a source of unpleasant, overly loud or unwanted noise and a person to be bothered by the noise. The criteria for the noise levels and sources are often set out in municipal or other guidelines which specify decibel levels and times of permissible noise. The "bother" caused by the noise is much more difficult to quantify and legal measures usually fall back on terms such as "loss of enjoyment of property"These two criteria are most often met in urban settings (cities, towns, etc.) The sources can be traffic, industrial processes, music or construction.

Noise pollution can also occur in places where silence is seen as an aesthetic consideration. This would include areas such as nature preserves, meditative centres, and other places people go to "enjoy peace and quiet". The decibel level of noise pollution in such areas can be much lower.
