Excessnoise

Excessnoise refers to any sound that is unwanted, disruptive, or detrimental to human health and well-being. It is generally considered to be a subjective phenomenon, meaning what one person considers excessnoise another might not. However, there are objective measures and established guidelines for what constitutes harmful levels of sound.

The primary concerns associated with excessnoise are its effects on auditory health, psychological state, and overall quality of life. Prolonged exposure to loud sounds can lead to temporary or permanent hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and increased stress levels. It can also interfere with concentration, sleep, and communication, impacting productivity and social interactions.

Sources of excessnoise are diverse and can include industrial machinery, transportation systems (such as aircraft, trains, and road traffic), construction activities, loud music, and even everyday domestic appliances. In urban environments, noise pollution from these sources is a significant issue.

Regulations and mitigation strategies are in place in many areas to control and reduce excessnoise. These can involve setting noise limits for specific activities or zones, implementing soundproofing measures in buildings, and promoting quieter technologies. Public awareness campaigns also play a role in educating individuals about the risks of noise exposure and encouraging responsible sound behavior. The concept of "noise pollution" is often used interchangeably with excessnoise when referring to environmental noise issues.
