Sound (Noise) Pollution

When we struck drum skin, it vibrates producing waves (sound waves) these waves travel through air to reach our ears. Every vibration (Even molecules) produces sound but creations differ in hearing ability for example; humans hearing limits are 20 to 20,000 Hz. The optimum is 8000 Hz and above is considered pollution!
Sound pollution badly affects humans Psychologically, Mentally and Physically
According to World Health Organization:
Environmental noise exposure is responsible for a range of health effects:
Increased risk of iscaematic heart disease
Sleep disturbance
