What measures will you take to control noise pollution?

Answer 1

The following measures can be taken to control noise pollution:

• 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.
