Noise pollution is a serious health hazard affecting lot of people across the world. When we speak of noise pollution, we think of factories, traffic, airplanes etc, but I think noise pollution is prevalent even in our home. You should check the level of noise from your TV set, radio or music system. When we are enjoying the sound, there are others who find the same noise troublesome. So lower down the volume, whenever you have some electronic equipment at full blast.

Constant noise does lead to fatigue by: Christine
I agree that noise pollution is more than just about sounds that hurt your ear. When I used to work in a factory, the constant drumming of the machines actually increased our fatigue - it was like our bodies were on alert listening to the sounds. When they finally gave us earphones, our productivity actually improved!
It'd be great if you could post some more information about successful ways to combat different types of noise pollution.
