International Noise Awareness Day
The purpose of the Noise Center of the Center for Hearing and Communication is to promote hearing conservation and noise awareness through education, advocacy and out reach.
What Communities Can Do
Raise Awareness About Noise
Hold a town meeting to "sound off on noise". Invite local officials from the Police Department, City Council and the Department of Environmental Protection.
Distribute Fact Sheets to Local Public Officials
Attend public meetings, meet with town or city officials and educate them about the hazards of noise. Fact Sheets can be found on the Noise Center's website.
Request a Mayoral Proclamation for International Noise Awareness Day
Using the sample letter, request a Mayoral Proclamation for INAD and a ceremony to present the proclamation to the community.
Evaluate the Noise in Your Community
Analyze local noise ordinances and enforcement procedures and request a Model Noise Ordinance to share with local officials.
