ABSTRACT
Noise has ill effects tagged to its definition; yet, even though pollution of the air, water and land in metropolitan India has attracted some recognition, little attention has been paid to noise pollution and its effects. Noise acts upon the body very much as other stresses do and so its effects are far reaching affecting not just hearing but other body functions too. This article tries to generate some interest and controversies on the subject to initiate more action on noise pollution.
