Public Health Impact
- Stress, Sleep Issues, Hypertension
Social & Ecological Strain
- Family conflict, Elderly withdrawal, Animal suffering
“Noise pollution is a critical public health concern. In our community work, we see its impact in rising stress, sleep disturbances, hypertension, and poor concentration in children. It also strains social bonds, with the elderly withdrawing and families reporting higher conflict. Animal life suffers too. Tackling noise is both a public health and social responsibility — and is an essential step toward healthier, more cohesive communities.”

Cardiovascular Risk
- With long-term noise exposure
Productivity Loss
- At citywide scale
“Noise pollution is a silent multiplier of disease. Studies link it to hypertension, heart disease, and reduced workplace efficiency. At the population level, even small daily increases in stress and poor sleep translate into enormous health costs and lost productivity. Reducing noise is as critical to public health as clean air and water.”
Dr. Uday Vora
ENT Specialist, Mumbai
Hearing Loss Cases
- Increasing trend
Group Communication Difficulty
- Without hearing aids
“We are seeing a rise in hearing loss cases. Many patients resist using hearing devices due to social stigma. They try to cope by relying on one-to-one conversations, lip-reading, and visual cues. But without aids, their ability to participate in group communication steadily declines, isolating them further.”
