Noise pollution affects animals with sensitive hearing, causing disruptions in communication and behavior. Some animals may raise their voices, change their activity patterns, or move away from noisy areas, leading to potential displacement and challenges. For example, bats can have their echolocation disrupted by car tire noise near highways.
Environment
Noise pollution can disrupt animals’ communication, hunting abilities, and overall well-being. Some animals may alter their behavior, such as changing the timing of their activities or moving away from noisy areas. Increased noise levels can lead to habitat loss and affect animals’ ability to navigate and hunt for food, ultimately impacting their survival.
