‘Noise pollution is a real threat to the quality of life.’ To what extent is this true in your country?

Points for and against noise pollution is a real threat

• Depends on living environment (busy road/noisy neighbours/apartment living/flight paths/night-time noise/dog barking)
• Noise pollution is a real threat as it can cause stress/depression
• Whether the noise is constant or intermittent
• Whether there are any enforceable laws
• Examples from your country
• It could be that air pollution is a greater threat, particularly in large cities (wearing protective masks)
• Some people might think noise enhances ‘quality of life’ (night-club/sporting events)
• Depends on personal tolerance
