Furthermore,motorbikes create so much noise. There is “vroom vroom” noise everywhere. It is extremely difficult to sleep. Parents with infants find it extremely challenging. The moment their babies fall asleep, one or another motorbike passes by and the baby wakes up. It is also arduous for children to concentrate on their homework. Experts are of the opinion that if there is extreme noise, it can lead to deafness and lack of concentration in children and adults (Fields, 1993).
