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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You own the pen

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 .

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.

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.

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.

First, we have to understand that some places are reserved for structured noise like market place. So if you are living within this area, you have to bear it in mind that noise will be a natural occurrence there in the market and complaining against the noise in such area is not worth it. So apart from that, to solve the problems associated with noise is majorly to reduce the number of people in that area or strong warning about the use of musical instrument, no partying or climbing etc.

in my country what we consider as a pollution is all this industrial pollution and vehicle pollution other things then we does not consider then as a pollution because we have mastered them and secondly we don't have legal activities that restricts people from not making noise in my country have travel across different regions and there is no regulation of noise.

I don't know if any other country like let's pollution or have a rules and regulation that control my own nation where I do see most of things concerns the noise pollution control is true movies is when I do see a such regulations all the restrictions of Environmental Hazard caused by noise pollution through the industrial procession companies

The most effective method I've found to reducing noise pollution is brining her some flowers, or candy. An occasional glass of wine might be necessary.

It is very difficult to say what the method you mentioned is. I think this method will increase the noise pollution.

I sleep with earplugs on and top of that i keep my noise cancelling headphones. I don't listen to brown / white noise at all as that makes my tinnitus worse. But i might listen to 10 hours of sound of raining with a black screen from youtube. But that's just for protecting me.

And what i do for reducing noise from my apartment? I don't play music from loud speakers, i am silent after 11pm as walls in here aren't that thick. I don't use washing machine or loud machinery of any kind after 11om but i go to shower and live my life otherwise normally. I don't speak loudly or yell, or listen to music or watch videos from a phone speaker while on public transit and i don't get the people who do. I don't party in my house, but i party where ever it's allowed. That's enough for me imho.

Well done! You carry the identity of a good citizen. As a good citizen, your responsibility is not only to pay the country's taxes or follow the country's few rules and regulations. Good citizens are those who are aware of the country as well as its neighbors and think about their advantages and disadvantages.

It will be very difficult to stop noise pollution in my because due to some reasons. One of the major sources of noise pollution is generators. It cannot be controlled because there is no constant power supply. Many businesses and households depend on these diesel and PMS-powered generators for electric power. Many people cannot afford other less noisy sources of power such as solar. My country is also a religious one and some churches and mosques don't care about the sound they create in the society. They usually have large speakers that create loud sounds that are sometimes very offensive. However, the government is scared of making policies to control these religious institutions for fear of losing support during elections.

Some of the ways to curb this noise pollution are to make laws that control noise and enact sanctions for offenders. This law should be enforced without fear of tribe or religion. The government should also improve power supply or provide subsidized alternative power sources.

Noise pollution in some countries is highly practiced,and can't be stopped easily.Especially,in Africa noise pollution is very common.Noise pollution affect a person's mental health.It causes lack of sleep,lack of concentration and stress.It's funny enough when people say they're used to loud noise,if only they know the effect they'll look for a way to stop it in their neighborhood.
So therefore,one way noise pollution can be stopped is factories should not be built in a neighborhood.It should be built in a quiet place far from a neighborhood to avoid noise pollution.

Actually, i think noise pollution can't be stopped totally but it can be reduced. Only if the country government it's not part of it because in so many countries government officials(vehicle horns, sirens, Ambulance etc.)and government owned industries, airports,parks etc are major causes of these pollution.
Government can place regulatory orders on unwaranted noises in our environments and enforcement agency acting on defaulters of the order. I think with that it will go a long way by reducing noise pollution in our environments

I'm having to wear ear plug on a daily basic due to the noise generated from the nearby couples who going abusive everyday, throwing tantrum at each other. It didnt help much but I couldnt be happier I can get rid some of them, but if they begin to yell it would be different story.
