The Legislative Aspect of Noise in The Republic of Kosovo and Human Health

Abstract

In the truest definition of the word, noise is an obnoxious sound to the human ear, and noise in the home is an obnoxious sound and dangerous to one's health. Any vibration picked up by the human ear and brought on by any tool or activity utilized by humans is referred to be a source of noise. Noise is described as a detrimental sound in regulatory terms (in the EU according to Directives, in Kosovo according to the Noise Law) as well as an environmental sound that is produced by explicitly declared human activity. The side effects of these noises can be harmful to human health. Therefore, in such a setting, loud noises can result in a range of unfavorable feelings, including rage, dislike of things, discontent, helplessness, disability, sadness, anxiety, restlessness, exhaustion, and damage to the hearing organs, which can elevate blood pressure, among others. Unwanted sound is characterized as having a low pitch, whereas hazardous sound has a high pitch. The ecosystem in Kosovo and the entire world continues to be severely harmed by noise. Millions of individuals worldwide, particularly in big cities and nations with developed industries, are subjected to intolerable noise limits set by regulatory organizations. Although noise pollution and health protection are subject to regulation by regulatory bodies, Kosovo and many other nations might benefit from the implementation of these laws.
