What are the advantages and disadvantages of Noise Pollution?
Answer: When someone, probably your neighbour, does not have an entertainment system and you are listening to yours very loud them they get to entertain themselves by listening to your music especially if its one of their favourites; then you both get to enjoy it and when you play your stereo system loudly this is a form of noise pollution which is benefiting to others in this case.
A siren at 30 ft distance can have a sound pressure level of L = 130 dBSPL.
Never forget to tell the distance of the measuring microphone from the sound source, because the closer you are the louder it is.
The sound pressure level decreases by 6 dB per doubling of distance from the source to 1/2 (50 %) of the sound pressure initial value.
The sound pressure decreases inversely as the distance increases with 1/r from the sound source.
What does the clean air act do?

Why noise is measured in decibels?
Here's a scale:
10 dB: leaves blowing in the wind
20-40 dB: a regular run-of-the-mill computer
30-60 dB: a server (like the big professional company ones. My Dell poweredge server weighs in at about 55-65 dB depending on temps and load)
75-95 dB: a car
85 dB: Here it starts damaging your hearing. Most MP3 players have a software limit at this level, ie. highest setting.
~ 100 dB: a motorcycle, Harley Davidsons and choppers are louder than this.
110 dB: a rock concert
120 dB: a jet airplane taking off (props are louder)
>200 dB: a nuclear blast from 2 km away. If you didn't burn to death, your eardrums would vaporize and even kill you because of the sheer sound pressure.
When was noise pollution first recognized as a problem?
When we first started to use artificial lighting, we didn't know how damaging it could be for astronomers are for us. Many street light in urban areas were built before we knew what the consequences of light pollution were.
New techniques to prevent vehicular pollution?

How do you make working model of noise pollution checker?
Get more than 1 person, in a room, with their own music, emmitting devices. The more the better, and, make sure that they all like different kinds of music, and, insist they play their own preference, at, their preffered, outdoor, volume. Then, just mange the group, for your variables...............chuck

There are geographical problems such as threatened habitats that effect the wildlife.

Benefits of natural resources?
Natural resources include very basic items, such as air to breathe, water to drink, land on which to grow crops, sunlight which is also necessary for growing crops among other purposes, minerals from which to refine metal, petroleum from which to refine gasoline, and so forth. Without natural resources we could not survive. Even if we all lived in orbital space stations (which would be incredibly expensive to build, for seven billion people) we would still need at least some natural resources; solar power is very important in outer space, and that requires sunlight, which is a natural resource.
The remedies of noise pollution can include the soundproofing of buildings, enforcement of noise and nuisance laws, and ear plugs. Planting vegetation in high noise areas will reduce sound levels as trees and other large plants will absorb sound.
When does noise pollution occur?
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.
How noise pollution is produced?

How we can control noise pollution?
The solution to noise pollution is,
1. To restrict vehicular horns upto a certain frequency, no high frequency horns must be sold in the markets. 2. Have large size banners or boards with no horn or limited horn symbols 3. Educate students, employees, drivers of all vehicles about the noise pollution in masses. 4. Start off huge rallies against noise pollution 5. Have sound detectors near offices, hospitals, educational institutions and residential areas. 6. Punish those who violate this rule by imposing fine. 7. Keep factories far from cities areas. 8. Proper city management of cities and towns should be done.
Some towns and cities actually have laws and limist as to the noise pollution that its citizens can make. Other places, like golf courses or nature reserves, are also considered to be "quieter" places with less noise pollution. There are some things that all people can do to help lower their own levels of noise pollution that they - and hopefully others around them - produce.
*Rake leaves by hand, don't use a noisy leaf blower.
*Trim bushes or shrubs by hand, don't use a noisy bush trimmer.
*Sound proof rooms that might have music conducted in them, like a room with a piano or if someone in the hosue plays drums or guitar or whatever. This can be done simply with curtains, window inserts, carpeting, and closing windows and doors.
*Don't blast music on the radio or computer or speakers. Be considerate of your own ears and those of other around you.
*Don't slam doors / car doors, close them eaily and with only as much force as needed. (People don't usually think of this, but imagine - how loud is it when you slam your car door? Pretty tolerable. But imagine thousands of people doing so. Now that can start to get loud.
*Turn off the TV or radio when you aren't actually fully listening to it.
*Train your dog not to bark so much.
*Don't yell. Have civil conversations. Call someone or go find them instead of yelling across the street for them, for example.
*Plant trees and bushes around you house. They help keep the air clean, absorb sound, give privacy, and add nice design and looks to a house.
*Do noisy things (dishes, hammering, ect.) over or on a rubber mat to reduce noise.
*Put carpets, rugs, mats, throw rugs, ect. in your house / mats outside.
*Put fabric window coverings instead of plastic or wooden shades / blinds.
*Don't rev up a motorcycle or car unless it is actually needed for the drive.
*Don't beep your carn horn "just because", make sure it is a legitamate reason.

What is the whole conclusion on noise pollution?
The conclusion of a discussion on pollution would be a solution to the issue. The people involved in the discussion would need to have a concrete solution that would end pollution in every way.
---
Or maybe not. The conclusion could be how efforts to prevent pollution might be more effective than dealing with it after it occurs. Also, suggestions as to the role companies and individuals could have in working together to address the causes of pollution. In manufacturing and commerce, there is no simple way to stop all pollution.
