Noise, man and law.

In this article an effort has been made to describe the influence of noise upon man and the laws and regulations that can be adopted to prevent unwanted sounds in man’s environment and in industry as well. This is a matter of public health. The effects of sound upon the auditory system, upon the non-auditory system and its psychological effects are mentioned. In most countries legal regulations have been accepted about the permitted noise emission of machinery. Attention has also been paid to the noise in man’s environment, i.e. aircraft noise, road traffic noise, noise in buildings and so on. However, we must strive for an extension and a better control of the existing laws. Apart from any regulation, people should be taught to consider the creation of unnecessary noise as ill-mannered.
