NOISE POLLUTION AND ANIMALS Viareggio Viareggio is near Migliarino San Rossore Massaciuccoli regional Park. Some human activities (e.g. concerts, festivals…) located near the park are often discussed. One of the reasons is that noise pollution disturbs animals causing four types of effects: 1) hearing loss 2) masking of important environmental sounds 3) physiological effects ( heart rate, stress…) 4) behavioural effects.
