Low frequency noise (500 Hertz and lower), from various sources such as construction machineries and aircrafts, is a form of environmental noise pollution in urban environments. Such noise transmits over long distances and disturbs the surrounding area. It is also known to trigger several negative physiological reactions, such as changes to blood pressure, vertigo, and
