M: In today’s world, noise is a kind of pollution and is bad for human health.

People who work and live in noisy conditions go deaf easily. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf easily. It is reported that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old people, because the young often listen to loud music. Making a loud noise in public is also a kind of pollution. It does great harm to people’s hearing. Cars and machines also produce too much noise.

Many countries are trying to solve noise pollution.
