Mike: Hey Markel! I'm fine. Thanks. How about you?
Markle: I'm fine, too.
Mike: There is so much disturbance in your voice and so much background noise.
Markle: Yes. Vehicle horns, announcements, construction work etc. are seriously creating sound pollution.
Mike: Don't you think this affects our health?
Markle: Yes, it does. Unwanted and loud noise can damage physical as well as mental health. It can cause irritation and anger, high stress levels, hearing loss, sleep disturbance and other harmful effects.
Mike: That's horrible!
Markle: I know. And day by day the level of sound pollution is increasing in here. It is too difficult to tolerate.
Mike: We must take necessary steps to stop this pollution. But how?
Markle: Yes, sound pollution can be reduced by limiting vehicle speed and using traffic controls for smooth vehicle flow.
Mike: What about noise from industrial sector?
Markle: By using noise reducing equipment and better materials, sound pollution can be controlled in this sector too.
Mike: Isn't there any kind of law for this?
Markle: There is a law limiting the level of sound, but people don't obey the laws. Most of them don't even know about it.
Mike: That's too bad.
Markle: Yes. People should be more conscious about sound pollution. Anyway what you were saying?
Mike: Oh yes! I needed English notes. Can I come and collect now?
