- To control noise pollution, we must control its source. Hence, silencers must be installed in vehicles such as motorcycles, cars, trucks, buses, and other noise-producing machines.
- We should watch television and listen to music at a low volume. Also, use of loudspeakers as well as horns of buses and trucks should be minimized.
- Regular maintenance of automobiles should be done so that noise produced by them can be kept under check.
- All industrial work should be done away from residential areas.
- More trees should be planted in residential areas, as they help in reducing noise.
