Construction noise is a difficult problem in the prevention and control of noise pollution in China, as well as one of the most concerned issues of the public about environment. In this article, the causes of construction noise pollution and the main technical measures for preventing and controlling them are summarized. The difficulties to prevent and control construction noise pollution are reviewed: difficulty to control the construction noise due to strong sound source of equipment and low level of construction technology; big harm of construction noise at night which cannot be completely eliminated, and abnormal use of fund for prevention and control of construction noise caused by low-price competition in engineering projects. By summarizing foreign experience of prevention and control of construction noise pollution, countermeasures and suggestions for China's construction noise prevention and control are proposed: comprehensive supervision and management system of construction noise prevention and control should be established and improved; Low-noise construction technology and equipment should be encouraged; Automatic monitoring network of construction noise should be built; Reasonable project duration and the cost of noise pollution control should be ensured; Construction noise should be prevented and controlled through the implementation of both technical means and management means.
