“…And abundance of evidence in the literature reveal examples of these effects to include damage on fetal development, annoyance and anxiety [53] mental health catastrophe [19], sleep disturbance and insomnia, cardiovascular disorders in pregnant women [57,62],respiratory ailments, dizziness and tiredness in school children [1,65],high blood pressure and cognitive difficulties in adults [16,48], cardiocerebrovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes incidence [51] and medically unexplained physical symptoms including other auditory and non-auditory effects such as myocardial infarction incidence, peptic ulcers [44] and disruption of communication and retentive capabilities in children.

Noise as an undesirable sound within non-occupational settings is one of the several identified environmental problems across the world. It is an increasing common feature of urban areas attributable to road, rail, and air traffic sources as well as construction and industrial activities, commercial enterprise, and such familiar domestic sources as pets and radios/stereos from residential neighborhood. Noise is a major pollution which constitutes nuisances and health related consequences of significant negative impacts on the physical, social, physiological and psychological wellbeing of man or animals. It is notably evident that increased activities from industrialization and technological transfers/drifts are the bedrock of urban noise in majority of our rapid growing cities at present. At the instance of sufficient evidence that noise aggravates chronic illnesses like hypertension and other cardiopulmonary diseases, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Federal Environment Protection Agency (FEPA) (Nigeria) has strategically set standards and limits of allowable noise levels which unfortunately is not implemented and enforced in most cities, thereby leading to urban quality deterioration. Noise pollution occurs when it is observed that standards are exceeded, therefore concerted efforts in monitoring and regulating our environmental noise is recommended to avert the scourge of further debasement of environmental quality in our cities.

“…Countries new to tourism, however, need to consider the primary needs of foreign visitors. In a study by Olokesusi[36] in Abeokuta, Nigeria, tourists are encouraged to visit the densely populated town that is suffering from noise pollution, lack of telephones, unreliable water and electricity supplies. Countries with developed tourist industries such as Bali[37] and parts of Mexico[38] face widely differing challenges though, in essence, matching supply and demand and protecting tourism receipts from inflation are key priorities.…”

“…Countries new to tourism, however, need to consider the primary needs of discerning foreign visitors whose standards of living may differ from their own. In a study by Olokesusi[1] in Abeokuta in Nigeria, for example, tourists are encouraged to visit the densely populated town that is suffering from noise pollution, lack of telephones, unreliable water and electricity supplies. The recommendation is that physical infrastructure, facilities and security are a prerequisite for attracting foreign visitors to the area.…”
