14. Sound pollution

19. An impact of noise on animal life is the reduction of usable habitat that noisy areas may cause, which in the case of endangered species may be part of the path to extinction.

20. How is noise measured? Noise or sound is measured in decibels (dB). The typical sound levels measured in the surrounding are as follows: 140 ------------------------------------- Jet Engine (at 25 meters) 120 ------------------------------------- Rock and Roll Concert 110 ------------------------------------- Pneumatic Chipper 90 ------------------------------------- Chainsaw 80 ------------------------------------- Heavy Truck Traffic 70 ------------------------------------- Business Offices 60 ------------------------------------- Conversational Speech 50 ------------------------------------- Library 40 ------------------------------------- Bedroom 30 ------------------------------------- Secluded Woods 20 ------------------------------------- Whisper

21. There are a variety of strategies for mitigating roadway noise including: use of noise barriers, limitation of vehicle speeds, alteration of roadway surface texture, limitation of heavy vehicles, use of traffic controls that smooth vehicle flow to reduce braking and acceleration, and tire design. Aircraft noise can be reduced to some extent by design of quieter jet engines, which was pursued vigorously in the 1970s and 1980s.

22. Another solution to this problem is to use electric, or hybrid-electric, automobile. Hybrid vehicles are so quite, in fact, that legislation is pending to actually make them louder.

23. many conflicts over noise pollution are handled by negotiation between the emitter and the receiver. noise pollution often persists because only five to ten percent of people affected by noise will lodge a formal complaint . many people are not aware of their legal right to quiet and do not know how to register a complaint.
