Abstract
The Yoruba people of western Nigeria are known for organising loud musical parties which includes eating, drinking, and loud music generally known as “O wa mbe”. The Yoruba people are found in the western part of Nigeria in such places like Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Lagos, Kwara, Osun, Ekiti and in south-eastern part of the Republic of Benin. The social gatherings that posted heavy sounds includes; weekend parties, church services, market noises, street adverts, political campaigns and even sounds of generating sets. Therefore, this paper considers those conditions of heavy sounds that affect human health, so that we may learn how to control these conditions and prevent ill-health and the unhappiness which they cause. The paper focused on the analysis of harmful effects of loud sounds on the eardrum of human beings and the general environmental hazard of loud and uncontrolled sound in the society. The paper also suggests various ways in which human beings can do away with heavy sounds in their gatherings.
