Urbanization and the by-product pollutants of anthropogenic activity pose unique threats to arthropods by altering their sensory environments. Sounds generated by human activities, like construction and road traffic, can oversaturate or interfere with biotic acoustic cues that regulate important ecological processes, such as trophic interactions and the coordination of mating. Here, we review recent work exploring how anthropogenic noise impacts inter-intra-specific interactions in insects and arachnids. We outline empirical frameworks for future research that integrate three mechanisms by which anthropogenic noise alters behavior through interference with acoustic cues: masking, distraction, and misleading. Additionally, we emphasize the need for experimental designs that more accurately replicate natural soundscapes. We encourage future investigations on the effects of developmental exposure to noise pollution and the impacts of multiple interacting sensory pollutants on insect and arachnid behavior.
城市化和人为活动的副产物污染物通过改变节肢动物的感觉环境，对它们构成了独特的威胁。人类活动产生的声音，如建筑和道路交通噪音，可以淹没或干扰调节重要生态过程的生物声学线索，例如营养相互作用和交配协调。在这里，我们回顾了最近探索人为噪声如何影响昆虫和蛛形纲动物种内和种间相互作用的研究。我们概述了未来研究的经验框架，该框架整合了人为噪声通过干扰声线索改变行为的三种机制：掩蔽、分心和误导。此外，我们强调需要进行更准确地复制自然声景的实验设计。我们鼓励未来对噪声污染的发育暴露的影响以及多种相互作用的感官污染物对昆虫和蛛形纲动物行为的影响进行研究。
