Solution

Noise is a source of pollution because it is an unwanted sound that produces unpleasant effects and discomfort. Sound becomes a pollutant when it interferes with normal activities such as sleeping and conversation or when it disrupts the quality of life. It is considered a physical form of pollution, and though not directly harmful to life-supporting systems like air, soil, and water, its effects are directly felt by humans.
