Here are the main types of underwater noise pollution: Ship engines and propellers - The constant rumbling from thousands of ships creates a background noise that never stops Sonar from military ships - These send out very loud "pings" to detect submarines, which can hurt whales' hearing Oil and gas drilling - The machinery and explosions used to find oil under the seabed create powerful sound waves Construction noise - Building wind farms, harbours, and bridges in the sea creates lots of banging and drilling sounds
