ABSTRACT
In present time where sustainability has been considered a leading principle for environmental drafting, noise pollution control stands as a big challenge in every society. From transportation webs to industrial activities and urban expansions, noise impact peoples’ health, ecosystem integrity, and social welfare. In spite of its having important and widely applicable effects, noise pollution is still inadequately incorporated into inclusive sustainability agendas. The SDGs’ Framework contains 17 comprehensive goals, although noise and its management are not distinctly recognized in any of the 17 goals, but it is of utmost important in a way that, if noise is not to an acceptable extent addressed, it will present a noteworthy dispute to the understanding of sustainable development.
