A common problem in many countries is noise pollution. Noise pollution comes in many forms, such as car horns, loud music playing, naughty boys shouting and many other sources of noise pollution. Noise pollution has several harmful effects - excessive noise or noise pollution enough to disturb your sleep or work. Noise pollution is a legal offense in many developed countries and everyone obeys the law. But there are many countries where noise pollution laws are not obeyed by the general public and law enforcement agencies do not care.
What steps will you take against noise pollution as a good citizen of the country?

noise pollution can't be stopped but can only be controlled. Depending on the country of your residence, stopping noise pollution isn't something you can just set out rules it would just work but their certain things that can help reduce the extent of noise pollution which include,

1. Setting out laws that prevent the playing of music above a certain decibel.
2. Banning cars with high exhaust gas from ridding on the road.
3. Encouraging industrial areas to be located far from home
4. Setting out laws to prevent public address systems from keeping their speakers outside

The solution to solving noise pollution pollution is kind of country related and how the citizens react to it differs, for my country for instance, it will take a long time before we will be able to come out of this noise pollution wahala

God bless u

If we are being honest, there really is nothing i can do to reduce the total of noise pollution everywhere the best thing i could do is to not contribute to the noise pollution and try to convince others to do the same and for those who will not follow then might as well report them to the authorities so that they meet whatever consequences is waiting for them

In noise pollution i think that horn is bad because we often see that after waiting for a while or straining, the driver starts every time with a horn which is very unbearable. thing happens because what is in it, you may have patients, what you may have are old people and small children, who are in extreme pain when they hear this horn, so we are with one thing that is to be avoided.

If I have I, I will do everything possible to eliminate this noise pollution.

I don't think noise pollution can be completed stopped or eliminated, but it can only be reduced to the barest minimum.
This can be achieved when existing laws against noise pollution are enforced.
But how can a law be enforced when the enforcers are the ones in the forefront of breaking these laws.

I believe you have got some small misunderstanding on what noise pollution is, to be honest. Noise pollution is not supposed to be fought by completely getting rid of all noise possible, what would not make sense, because there is no society organized enough to get rid of such thing.
Fighting noise pollution is about getting standards and adjust our society to them as much as possible so people who live close to each other won't get bothered by the noise made by neighbors or people in the streets.
Obviously, enforcing laws is an important part of reaching those objectives, even though I have got the impression there is way more people polluting than available law enforcement officers out there.

I think I understand very well what noise pollution is, hence my response to the OP who was asking how noise pollution can be stopped. I was only trying to educate the OP that noise pollution can not be eliminated, that is impossible to achieve, no technology can ever be used to achieve this.

What I am trying to explaing to you is that noise and noise pollution is not the same, one can get rid of noise pollution but one cannot easily get rid of noise in general.
You can call noise pollution when you are dealing when noise constantly, though your day and even through your night. There is when the pollution kicks in and can negatively affect your health and standard of living.
On the other hand, having a little bit of noise in the day because someone in your house slammed a door or someone is shouting at someone else is not pollution. It can be a bother but it won't negatively affect your health in the long term.

Another comparison would be between alcoholism and social drinking. Alcoholism is a problem which can damage your health very quickly while moderate consumption in social settings won't do the same to your health.

Well, I will disagree with on the difference between noise and noise pollution.
There's really no difference between noise and noise pollution
Noise is an unwanted, unpleasant sound that is uncomfortable for our well-being.
Any sound that is above 75Db is considered as harmful to human.

You're right, we may not be able to derive on achieving this, but there's a way we can reduce the rate and effects of noise pollution in the environment, first is to channel most of the noise pollutants items to be on a specific environment being isolated from where humans live, then try to build in more devices that are noiseless I couldn't contribute to the effects of noise to the environment there can also be government enforcement laws that will go against noise pollution in the environment.

In my country, we have industrial areas where all business that pollutes the environment must be cited. With this policy, we would have less sound from big generators and machines. sadly this is not the case anymore because these laws are not followed anymore and most of these law breakers are top politicians. Environmentally friendly power sources are very expensive which is why most businesses or individuals cannot afford them. If the government could subsidies the prices of these noiseless power sources, more people would be able to afford them.

Sometimes I feel sorry for people who have health issues that require them to stay in a quiet environment. Most of them might end up having more complications. If I am opportune to have an online job, I will consider moving to a rural area where I will enjoy the natural sounds and not from mechanical sources.

I don't want to fight it and I don't really feel bothered by it. There are a number of things that I feel about the mind being affected by external factors, which are a type of thing that the majority are suffering from, but when it comes to consciousness, who does the mind belong to? Yep, it belongs to no one, not even you and me.

Whether we are sad, happy, angry, loving,... let's start unconditionally and eliminate things that are not beneficial to those around us. The way that I feel can be applied most practically is "meditation", yes all external sounds do not cause attention if you can apply that, and the benefits of "meditation" I see are very great many things in life.

Apart from not contributing to noise in the environment yourself, the best ways to make others follow not to increase noise is that the government has to make sure that they make laws guiding noise and public nuisance. If people know that there is law against their actions then they will respect themselves and keep to the standard of the law.

For example there can be a designated place for gathering for party and not to be done in residential places to avoid noise in neighborhood and so if someone is found having party and playing loud music within prohibited places as neighbourhood then they have contravened that law and should be punished for going against the law. If penalties are levied against offenders then the commission of such offense would reduce. This is part of controlling noise pollution.

I which there could be some noise control laws in my country, because at the moment, my country of residence is rated to be one of the most noisy place around the world, because many of the citizen's don't sleep and for that it's round the clock activities and for sure there is no rest for residence and business alike, this pattern of lifestyle have lowered the mortality rate of many citicezens due to the negative resultant effects of this crisis.

And just as Gozie stated, the government have a high role to play in all of this, because the citizens will only follow guidelines and if that guidelines are not in place, it can effects the way the citizens conduct themselves along the line.

So sure government is the major actor in all of this, and anywhere there is noise pollution,it then means that the government either directly or indirectly engineer it

Yeah. Well, we can't always channel all of these noise pollutants away from human lives because humans are the ones producing these pollutants in the first place.
I agree with you on trying to reduce the effect, maybe by providing a low noise producing equipment.

We are actually the cause of these noise pollutions through our human daily activities that we engage doing, but when there's a law that restricts these human activities, people will be directed towards going by a specific rules and regulations that confined all noise pollutions in the same environment, while the overall assessment will be made globally on lives, if there's always a problem, then it solution lies somewhere.

In those days noise pollution was very hard to control and mostly in the third world Nations but it was still minimal in the developed countries. In Africa the leaders are not good in controlling noise pollution. Someone would on generator for 24/7 hours of the day to disturb the neighborhood. Some neighbors would even used home theater to play music to disturb his neighborhood yet nobody can say anything.

Therefore I believe the only way to stop pollution in any country is to enact a policy that will regulate the activities of him concerning noise in the society and also the use of the new technology. Like, let come to the area of generator, generator should be eliminated from the world automatically and replace it with solar and make solar system very cheap for everyone to acquire and electric cars can reduce noise pollution in the world.

As individuals I didn't think that there's much that we can do about the noise pollution of others, we can only control our own noise in our own space, so I think that it's the sole duty of governments to have laws that'll criminalize it. The only effort to cub noise pollution in my country that I've seen is in the so much noise with big speaker that religious houses makes during their services, it has drastically reduced. But car horns, sales people's speakers and the rest are annoyingly still there.

About noisy pollution from generators for electric power supply with the dangerous smoke that emits from their exhaust pipes, this a nightmare for people who don't have constant power supply in their country, and the governments keeps giving false promises of constant power supply. People are just suffering and enduring.

You're right, no one can get rid of noise pollution totally and we are talking about humans and the society not animals, i don't think enforcing laws will stop noise pollution and even with other laws everyone still make their decision and forgetting about the consequences, I don't know the kind of noise the op is referring to but I consider unpleasant noise as a very bad one and sometimes when we find ourselves in areas like this we can't leave cause this noise can take place in our working place, home etc.
With this kind of noise it's best to report such person for safety reasons. The work of those officers, they're met to take actions and make things right so if you find such people that always love to create unpleasant noise it's best reporting them to the law officer, but whereby you want to whole world to stop noise pollution it's impossible.

Generally, noise refers to unpleasant sounds. Any sound that is unpleasant to the ears are classified as noise.
I agree with you, noise can not be eliminated as long as there are human activities in that locality.
Besides, Most of human inventions that we enjoy today produce noise pollution, example: cars, airplane, factories, etc.

My post made philipma1957 wear signature

The issue of noise pollution is common in Africa where the laws are somehow silent on the issue of noise. It is in their culture to hold loud parties and religious gatherings where people yell at the top of their voices in jubilation. The louder the noise, the merrier the party. The industrial areas are not also left behind as the laws regulating noise pollution is silent.

Quote from: yazher on January 15, 2024, 08:35:22 AM

I never imagined that other countries have the same problem as me and they also managed to post this question. Until now, I never knew it was called noise pollution. Some people just don't have any respect for their neighbors

The lack of regards for neighbours is one major cause of noise pollution. If one really respects his neighbours, why will he play loud music or carryout industrial productions close to his neighbour who might be displeased with the unpleasant sounds?

The only solution to help reduce this issue is for the government of the country to intensify a war against noise pollution campaign. All security agencies in charge of maintaining healthy living (which includes noise pollution) should be up and doing. All defaulters should be sanctioned accordingly. By doing this, the people would be forced to limit the level of noise they generate.

I think you can not stop noise pollution, but you can reduce it. There are many ways to control noise pollution like regular maintenance of machines and appliances and fine loud noises. Using earphones can help you reduce noise pollution at an individual level.

The country I am living in does not consider noise as pollution Cheesy

The concept is that if it's not noisy, it is not probably interesting.

I never imagined that other countries have the same problem as me and they also managed to post this question. Until now, I never knew it was called noise pollution. Some people just don't have any respect for their neighbors and the very cause of this problem is drugs and lack of manners and that's because of their parents not taking responsibility well to raise their children and they grow up like that. When you are raising a child you need not only to provide for him but also to guide him not to be with the wrong companies because it will gonna affect him badly in a really worse way no matter how good a provider you are. That's why, we need to assist them and also not be afraid to discipline them whenever they cross the line because that's for their own good. As for me, I'm praying and looking for a way to get out of this place because the people and the neighbors are too much to handle because they simply lack etiquette of neighbor's rights.

This is the community that i Grow with because our old community is truly something like what can be called squatter so I can bare with noise pollution in any way .

but have you tackled this with your own community? sorry but you did not mentioned the story behind this because this is truly depending on how your location and lifestyle is.

If you are living in a very crowded place then the best way you can stop this kind of pollution is to go to other cities , live in different place than staying in that polluted community .

A common problem in many countries is noise pollution. Noise pollution comes in many forms, such as car horns, loud music playing, naughty boys shouting and many other sources of noise pollution. Noise pollution has several harmful effects - excessive noise or noise pollution enough to disturb your sleep or work. Noise pollution is a legal offense in many developed countries and everyone obeys the law. But there are many countries where noise pollution laws are not obeyed by the general public and law enforcement agencies do not care.
What steps will you take against noise pollution as a good citizen of the country?

The question here is that can noise pollution be stopped? Not at all. The only way we can reduce noise pollution is by stopping the cause of the pollution. Pollution is something that we can not stop unless we want to stop the production processes.
Just like plane flying causing pollution in the atmosphere. The factory machines and engines causes pollution and how can we stop that? No way unless we would have to stop the operation of heavy machineries.
