Is it true that noise pollution harms wildlife by disrupting animal communication and breeding?
Unclear. Several sources indicate that anthropogenic noise pollution harms wildlife, with a meta-analysis and a bird-community dataset specifically linking it to disrupted acoustic communication and reduced reproductive success, though each covers only part of the claim.
