Case study - Classrooms are Boring ( inconvenient environment)

          One more case study regarding the project title ' Classrooms are Boring ' is about inconvenient environment . Inconvenient environment means the surrounding that causing the people feel uneasy , troublesome or even difficulty .
   
          The reason that brings to the problems of inconvenient environment is

1) Noisy environment
          Environmental noise is the summary of noise pollution from outside, caused by transport, industrial and recreational activities. Noise is frequently described as 'unwanted sound', and, within this context, environmental noise is generally present in some form in all areas of human activity. The effects in humans of exposure to environmental noise may vary from emotional to physiological and psychological . Noise at low levels is not necessarily harmful; environmental noise can also convey a sense of liveliness in an area, and is not then always considered 'unwanted'. However, the adverse effects of noise exposure (i.e. noise pollution) could include: interference with speech or other 'desired' sounds, annoyance, sleep disturbance, anxiety, hearing damage and stress-related cardiovascular health problems.
          As an area of work or study, environmental noise is often extended to include human perception and response to vibration caused by environmental sources, typically due to exposure to ground vibration or building vibration . Noise from transportation is typically emitted by the machinery (e.g. the engine or exhaust) and aerodynamic noise caused by the compression and friction in the air around the vessel during motion. Industrial and recreational noise could be generated by a multitude of different sources and processes. Sound propagation outdoors is subject to meteorological effects (e.g. wind, temperature) that affect the distance, speed, and direction with which environmental noise travels from a source to a listener.

 The construction area of Singapore at Marina Bay Sands that causes the noise pollution .

                                    The traffic jam at Singapore that causes the noise pollution .

                    The sound of MRT traveling along the barriers that causes the noise pollution .
