This study seeks to determine the perceived level of noise population in a particular suburban community and to determine the views of a population of at least 25 subjects through
an on-line survey about the scope of the problem and proposed methods to address noise pollution. Specifically, this study attempts to determine whether people generally support government restrictions on
behaviors, including urban development and reproductive rights as a means of addressing the combined problems of overpopulation and noise pollution. Introduction Increasing population density worldwide has led to a
number of environmental and health issues. Researchers have demonstrated that population density has resulted in the creation of noise pollution, environmental hazards, and factors impacting human health. Increasing
population density has been identified as a factor leading to the risk of a number of health hazards, and efforts to address population density, noise pollution and the problems associated
with these elements has been at the heart of recent environmental studies. Review of Literature The population density of the world is continually increasing. With a population
of over 6.8 billion people, the density of the population worldwide is more than 118 people per square mile (World Atlas, 2010). The United States, with a population of
over 295 million people, has a population density of almost 80 people per square mile (World Atlas, 2010), and all of these figures are constantly increasing. At a time
when birth rates far exceed mortality rates, there is no possibility that the population density of the planet will decrease in the foreseeable future. Increasing population means that there
are many areas of the world that have densities far above the average. Urban settings, for example, may have population densities that are more than 100 times the average
