In our country noise pollution has the greatest part to enhance the panic among people especially heart people. It produces anxiety disorder and many others. It is one of the moral less activity of our society that we played a loud sound in Avenue, streets as well as in our homes. The songs, Naat, Qawwali whatever be played it's sound must be in Limited quarter. Noise pollution causes are industrialiazation as in industries many heavy machines are used which create high peak of noisy sound. The next one is Social events as in parties, weddings, and different functions loud sounds are used this is also the major cause of noise pollution.
