This lecture covers the basics of environmental noise and its impact on humans and wildlife. It discusses the definition of noise, its characteristics, and how it affects health and well-being. The lecture also delves into the measurement and quantification of noise levels, the propagation of sound, and the legal regulations surrounding noise pollution. Practical cases and examples are used to illustrate the concepts presented, including the assessment of noise levels in specific locations and the implementation of noise protection measures.
