Noise is defined as an undesirable,high-level sound.
Sources like industrial machines,aircraft,and rockets often generate noise levels exceeding $150 \text{ dB}$.
Exposure to such high levels of noise causes physical and psychological distress,including loss of hearing,increased heart rate,altered breathing patterns,and high blood pressure.
