As the outdoor noise pollutant, traffic (and the loudmusic from the cars) affect me the most.

Dear Deepak Verma Yes indeed there are lots of noise pollutants and I would say any high pitched noise affects me. Thanks God, I live in outskirts of London, therefore don’t affect me very much. Any kind of traffic, loud music, noisy neighbours, construction machinery , planes, relentless dog barking would affect me. We had a neighbourhood dog , was barking continuously, the owner did not treat well I guess. Nowadays, touch wood very quite .

Thanks Emre Pakdemirli for your valuable insights...Hope your neighbourhood dog doesn't disturb you...

If external noise is constant, it is not perceived negatively. On the contrary, the absence of noise can cause stress.

Dear Andrey Skorobogatov - thanks for your Different thinking. I also agree that absence of noise can cause stress but in different circumstances like Jail, unwanted loneliness situations....otherwise absence of noise gives us relief and happiness...

Well,

Traffic (Roads, Highways, Railway) without a doubt is the most affected.

Regards

Any undesirable sound that cause me discomfort and disturbing my sleep is a noise pollution for me.. There is a renovation work going around my apartment which bothers me a lot.. Somethimes kids playing in the neighborhood park, shouting at each other is infuriating too,but I am helpless as they have no other choice !!

Road traffic !

I am more bothered by road traffic, which continues to worsen due to the increasing number of vehicles, poor infrastructure, the irrational distribution of the development, and the need to commute during the same hours each day.
