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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

In our local community , there is a certain fine for those who messes with so much loud noise specially in night time , though there are some who still violate in the early time yet if you reported them to the proper authority ? for sure they will come and acted according to what is necessary .
have reported several times and indeed that those stopped being noisy and yeah our village is noise free most of the time.

Noise pollution can't be eradicated completely but there are measures with which someone or the society can take in other to control the rate of noise pollution within our environment and some of those measures includes:
1: people should be able to control musical instruments and it shouldn't be played for a long interval of time.

2: power generating equipments like generators should be made sound proof such that it will reduce the noise coming out from it's engine.

3: the government should regulate the rate at which individuals or industries create noise to the environment and defaulters should be penalized.

It is important for us to know that noise contributes to some health challenges like head ache, restlessness and increased in the body temperature and can cause mental challenges so looking out for measures to reduce noise pollution in our environment will also reduce the rate at which people face these health challenges.


Saying generators should be eradicated isn't a good idea because not every one can afford solar systems and moreover, their are countries that have average low weather temperature so how can solar panels help those countries when there is no sun to generate energy to power those solar systems? Instead they should produce more of sound proof generators.

I live in a country where people are not aware of noise pollution air pollution natural environment pollution even though there are laws about it.  The education rate of my country is around 60 to 70 percent.  Although, in the education of my country, the bad aspects of air pollution, noise pollution, environmental pollution and their remedies have been highlighted, yet the people of my country are unaware.  Taking only legal measures will not be effective to correct their ignorance. 

In my opinion, a group of youngsters should be appointed from all over the country who will deliver a leaflet to each house every day about noise pollution, environmental pollution, air pollution.  In this way, people can be somewhat aware.  Which may be more effective than a strict legal system.

Noise pollution is somehow unavoidable and it happens mostly in undeveloped nation that does not understand siting industries

It takes some time to feel all the pollutants that are natural. But noise pollution directly affects our ears, heart and brain. Constant honking of horns, revving of engines, screeching of brakes and loud talking of people passing by. It seems we are not immune to the noise around us. Noise pollution not only affects our physical health, it also affects our mental well-being. This can lead to stress, anxiety and even hearing loss over time. It is high time we address this issue and take steps to reduce noise pollution in our cities. The government needs better urban planning, stricter regulations on noise levels and more awareness about the harmful effects of noise pollution. No matter what kind of rules the government provides regarding noise pollution, it is not possible to reduce noise pollution unless we all make individual efforts.

I’d start by trying to identify the main sources of noise such as traffic, appliances, or neighbours & try to address them directly. Install soundproofing materials like curtains, rugs or acoustic panels to absorb or block noise. Use weatherstripping to seal doors & windows to minimise exterior noise. You could try using white noise machines or fans to mask unwanted sounds. Talk with neighbours about noise concerns & try to find a compromise. Create a peaceful environment by incorporating elements like indoor plants, soft lighting & calming music to promote relaxation.

It is not possible to completely stop noise pollution, because if noise pollution is stopped, work will be disrupted. Whenever you are willing to stop noise pollution your future will be bleak. If you especially want to turn off mechanical sounds such as engine sounds, car horns, your office will be closed. And if you want to turn off your food-making machine sounds, you'll have to go without food. So noise pollution cannot be completely stopped.

For an environment to be extremely quiet this can only depend on the government, one thing about the society,  the society respect and obeys law alot. In develop countries where noise pollution is being regulated this is possible because their is a law which people must obey. If their is no law that is regulating law pollution the people in the environment can do things just like the way they feel. They can set up a club which the noise of music can affect other people in the environment and people can set up industries without approval of anybody.

Ill start to tackle noise by spreading the word about its effects and asking folks to be mindful of noise rules. Support using soundproofing in buildings, push for more green spaces, and organize events with an eye on reducing noise impact. Encourage quieter technologies, chat with neighbors about noise issues, and work together for a quieter and happier neighborhood vibe. Small actions can make a big difference!

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
