💨 Abstract

Human-made noise from lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and other power tools disrupts wildlife, affecting their basic instincts, communication, and reproduction. Birds, insects, and other animals suffer from these noises, which can cause stress and hearing loss. To mitigate these effects, The Nature Conservancy recommends changes in industrial practices, shifting noisy activities to less crucial times, creating sound buffers, and using quieter tools.
