Description: Noise pollution refers to the presence of harmful or annoying noise levels in the environment, often coming from industrial, urban, or transportation sources. This phenomenon has become a significant issue in modern societies, affecting the quality of life of individuals and the well-being of ecosystems. Noise pollution is not only measured in decibels but also considers its impact on human health, including effects such as stress, hearing loss, and sleep disorders. Additionally, it can interfere with communication and concentration, affecting productivity in work and educational environments. The increasing urbanization and rise in vehicular traffic have contributed to the intensification of this problem, making noise pollution a concern in urban planning and sustainable development. Modern technologies, such as noise monitoring systems and acoustic barriers, are being implemented to mitigate its effects, promoting a healthier and more balanced environment. In this context, noise pollution becomes a key indicator of the sustainability of cities and the quality of life of their inhabitants.
