Abstract

 Unwanted sounds are the most generalized public hindrance in the current society. Sound contamination is an environmental problem for people because of the health disorders it could cause. Dangers by noise are nowadays identified as a big problem to solve for the environmental health because they are the forms of energy potentially noxious in the environment that could result in an immediate or gradual risk of causing damage when they are transferred to the exposed individuals in enough quantity. The physical energy release could be unexpected and non-controlled as in the case of a strong explosive noise, or sustained and more or less under control as in working conditions with the long-term exposition to lower levels of constant noise. In force of the Party and Revolution social and economic politics up-dating for the period 2016-2021, the authors have been motivated to deal with this problem, stating that noise is one of the most common examples of physical danger causing effects on human health.
