The rapid increase in the intensity and the number of sources involved in augmenting noise pollution combined with the increase in urbanization results in more people exposed to noise pollution globally. Noise pollution will therefore have a direct impact on human health and behavior. Increasing noise pollution will also have negative economic impacts and the proportion of people negatively impacted by noise pollution in terms of health and economy increases by 12-15% every year. It is therefore necessary to utilize novel noise reduction technologies, which are cost-effective and also have a positive impact on human health and behavior. The novel technologies will be utilized so as to mitigate the high intense noise at source and they can be applied across different sectors including industrial, transport, and construction.
The research study has identified the utilization of futuristic processes and cost effective raw materials that will enable the mitigation of noise in industries, transportation, and residential and commercial buildings
