      abstract = {One of the ecological issues today is the rising noise pollution, which severely impairs the quality of life, especially in areas near construction zones. In areas experiencing rapid urbanization, noise from construction has become a significant source of stress and discomfort for residents living nearby. This is mainly because occupational noise is usually controlled by stricter regulations, while environmental noise from construction sites often lacks consistent enforcement.},
