Sound pollution can cause annoyance and aggression, high stress levels, hearing loss, sleep disturbances, and other harmful effects. Which in turn stress and hypertension leads to health problems. Tinnitus can lead to forgetfulness, severe depression and at time panic attacks.
Animals can also have detrimental effect by noise which can cause stress, increasing risk of death by changing the delicate balance in pridator/prey detection and avoidance, and by interfering with their use of sounds in communication especially in relation to reproduction and in navigation.
