Why Noise Matters

A Worldwide Perspective on the Problems, Policies and Solutions

Beschreibung

Across the world, more people are disturbed by noise in their day-to-day lives than by any other pollutant on Earth. From the shanty towns of Mumbai to the smart boulevards of Paris, noise is a problem. It is damaging people's health, costing billions, and threatening the world's natural sound systems in the same way that climate change is altering its eco-systems.
