I need some assistance with these assignment. effects of population density in terms of noise pollution and space Thank you in advance for the help! Consequently, other problems may arise such as imbalance in biodiversity and pollution of different types specifically, noise. Another problem is the continuing scarcity of private and public spaces for individuals to occupy. it seems like a literal interpretation of the phrase “it’s a small world, after all.”

Among these, one problem may be very disturbing especially to children: noise. Noise and population are almost relative in many ways. As the population increases, a good chance might come for noise pollution to develop, which is alarming. According to Singh and Davar (2004), “noise is becoming an increasingly omnipresent, yet unnoticed form of pollution even in developed countries.” Adverse effects of noise pollution include hypertension, disrupted sleep, and the hindrance to cognitive development among children (Singh & Davar, 2004). Noise is defined as any unwanted, irritating or surprising sound (“Noise,” 2009), which means that the definition of noise is highly subjective. Example, a mother may consider rap music as noise (since she does not appreciate rap that much) but her son does not. The sound has different characteristics and measurement that when it went over to the specifications, it becomes “noise.” According to SoundSmart, “the range for normal hearing is generally between 0 and 130 decibels (dBA). An increase of 10 dBA is already doubling our perception of its loudness.” Goines and Hagler pointed out from a WHO report that there are seven effects caused by noise namely: “hearing impairment, interference with spoken communication, sleep disturbances, cardiovascular disturbances, disturbances in mental health, impaired task performance, and negative social behavior and annoyance reactions.”

Urban areas, with a greater population compared to the rural, is more prone to noise pollution.&nbsp.&nbsp.
