I feel this is a problem in the majority of Indian cities. Perhaps Mumbai stands out here as it has more Traffic hence greater levels of unnecessary honking. Having worked at Bangalore and Hyderabad, living along/nearby any road with regular traffic lead to poor sleep quality due to sound pollution from senseless honking. Poorly enforced regulations regarding the hours when construction is allowed don't help either.

Add the temple loudspeakers to the list. Also, public defecation and rampant littering. S. Asia has a poor regard for public spaces.

  For me the worst impact on sleep came from warring packs of stray dogs.

    That never frustrated me as much. Somehow I find the actions of animals more excusable than the rationalizations provided for man made noise pollution.

      Tolerating packs of stray fogs is the actions (or perhaps inaction) of men, only manifest as dogs.
