- Abstract
Light and noise pollution are now recognized as major environmental issues, which put human health, biodiversity, and the sustainability of urban areas at risk. Combined scientometric study that synthesizes the two areas is still rare, despite the increased volume of research. This paper maps trends in noise and light pollution research between 2020–2025 using Scopus database searches. Analysis of bibliometric indicators including publication growth, citations, author productivity, collaboration networks, and keyword co-occurrence was conducted using Biblioshiny, VOSviewer, and CitedSpace. The study analyzed 2,268 documents from 535 sources, with 7,915 authors and 17,843 references, averaging 8.027 citations per article. Results showed interdisciplinary connections across environmental science, acoustics, computing and urban studies, with China, USA, and European countries as leaders, while India and Malaysia showed increased collaboration. Thematic development pointed to a change in exposure and measurement of noise to IoT-based smart city applications and sustainable city planning. These results are of great importance to researchers, policymakers, and planners because they offer recommendations on the future research, evidence-based policies, and sustainable ecosystem management.
