The most effective method I've found to reducing noise pollution is brining her some flowers, or candy.  An occasional glass of wine might be necessary.

What steps will you take against noise pollution as a good citizen of the country?

The simplest and that's to start with myself not to contribute with the noise pollution. Since I don't really play a loud noise for music and mp3 players, I guess that's already one for me. I don't like loud noise, it annoys me. Maybe this happens when you're growing older or it's not just me even when I was young, I don't feel loud noise and I don't understand what these people are up when they play such loud music. Like my ear can't take loud noise or these people have a huge tolerance to decibels from their ears.

I've seen some places where people keep on humping the horn of their cars as if it's just typical for them to beep beep every second of their lives. That's one big problem and I don't think that I'll ever survive on that place if ever I encounter those noise honking that are happening at all times. I've watched videos like it's a typical thing for those people to just honk even if there's no traffic as if it's already part of their lives and they're not going to live if they've missed a few minutes of not honking their horns.

In those days noise pollution was very hard to control and mostly in the third world Nations but it was still minimal in the developed countries. In Africa the leaders are not good in controlling noise pollution. Someone would on generator for 24/7 hours of the day to disturb the neighborhood. Some neighbors would even used home theater to play music to disturb his neighborhood yet nobody can say anything.

Therefore I believe the only way to stop pollution in any country is to enact a policy that will regulate the activities of him concerning noise in the society and also the use of the new technology. Like, let come to the area of generator, generator should be eliminated from the world automatically and replace it with solar and make solar system very cheap for everyone to acquire and electric cars can reduce noise pollution in the world.

Actually, I am from of those countries where people do not care about laws regarding noise pollution at all. It is common here for people to blast their car speakers at dusk with whatever music they like the most.
It can be very annoying for anyone who just wishes to sleep and rest before going to work.
In my personal point of view, the best way to handle with this issue is simply enforcing the law which treats the problem. It would be necessary to give police officers handheld Equipments for them to measure decibels when they are called to a certain place with complaints about loud noise. If the noise was indeed out of the legal limit then it would be just about issuing a fine against the infractor.

Since I am sure my government is not willing to do any investment on this matter, I know we will have to continue to deal with this kind of pollution form a very long time, until there is a change of administration.

Funny.

Simply see noise as unwanted sound that creates problems, and you'll probably know how to solve it.

We all have boundaries that must not be crossed unnecessarily, whether via making noise or other means. But some people are ok listening to sounds from friends, family members, neighbors etc while others are not, what is important is to identify unpleasant sounds that create problems for people and eliminate/reduce them. But if a society is filled with fools who don't care about the bad effects of noise they generate have on others, you could get yourself ear plugs, download app that generate WhiteNoise to help reduce or cancel all the background noise or outrightly move away from such people to a peaceful place.

It's important to note that bad sound or noise could be considered an absence of peace. It can create disturbances or choas in a quiet environment which makes it an opposite of peace. Responsible people deserve peaceful and quiet environments.

If we are being honest, there really is nothing i can do to reduce the total of noise pollution everywhere the best thing i could do is to not contribute to the noise pollution and try to convince others to do the same and for those who will not follow then might as well report them to the authorities so that they meet whatever consequences is waiting for them

Ill start to tackle noise by spreading the word about its effects and asking folks to be mindful of noise rules. Support using soundproofing in buildings, push for more green spaces, and organize events with an eye on reducing noise impact. Encourage quieter technologies, chat with neighbors about noise issues, and work together for a quieter and happier neighborhood vibe. Small actions can make a big difference!

[Y3shot]

For an environment to be extremely quiet this can only depend on the government, one thing about the society,  the society respect and obeys law alot. In develop countries where noise pollution is being regulated this is possible because their is a law which people must obey. If their is no law that is regulating law pollution the people in the environment can do things just like the way they feel. They can set up a club which the noise of music can affect other people in the environment and people can set up industries without approval of anybody.

It is not possible to completely stop noise pollution, because if noise pollution is stopped, work will be disrupted. Whenever you are willing to stop noise pollution your future will be bleak. If you especially want to turn off mechanical sounds such as engine sounds, car horns, your office will be closed. And if you want to turn off your food-making machine sounds, you'll have to go without food. So noise pollution cannot be completely stopped.

[DeathAngel]

I’d start by trying to identify the main sources of noise such as traffic, appliances, or neighbours & try to address them directly. Install soundproofing materials like curtains, rugs or acoustic panels to absorb or block noise. Use weatherstripping to seal doors & windows to minimise exterior noise. You could try using white noise machines or fans to mask unwanted sounds. Talk with neighbours about noise concerns & try to find a compromise. Create a peaceful environment by incorporating elements like indoor plants, soft lighting & calming music to promote relaxation.

It takes some time to feel all the pollutants that are natural. But noise pollution directly affects our ears, heart and brain. Constant honking of horns, revving of engines, screeching of brakes and loud talking of people passing by. It seems we are not immune to the noise around us. Noise pollution not only affects our physical health, it also affects our mental well-being. This can lead to stress, anxiety and even hearing loss over time. It is high time we address this issue and take steps to reduce noise pollution in our cities. The government needs better urban planning, stricter regulations on noise levels and more awareness about the harmful effects of noise pollution. No matter what kind of rules the government provides regarding noise pollution, it is not possible to reduce noise pollution unless we all make individual efforts.

Noise pollution is somehow unavoidable and it happens mostly in undeveloped nation that does not understand siting industries

[Huliya]

I live in a country where people are not aware of noise pollution air pollution natural environment pollution even though there are laws about it.  The education rate of my country is around 60 to 70 percent.  Although, in the education of my country, the bad aspects of air pollution, noise pollution, environmental pollution and their remedies have been highlighted, yet the people of my country are unaware.  Taking only legal measures will not be effective to correct their ignorance. 

In my opinion, a group of youngsters should be appointed from all over the country who will deliver a leaflet to each house every day about noise pollution, environmental pollution, air pollution.  In this way, people can be somewhat aware.  Which may be more effective than a strict legal system.

Noise pollution can't be eradicated completely but there are measures with which someone or the society can take in other to control the rate of noise pollution within our environment and some of those measures includes:
1: people should be able to control musical instruments and it shouldn't be played for a long interval of time.

2: power generating equipments like generators should be made sound proof such that it will reduce the noise coming out from it's engine.

3: the government should regulate the rate at which individuals or industries create noise to the environment and defaulters should be penalized.

It is important for us to know that noise contributes to some health challenges like head ache, restlessness and increased in the body temperature and can cause mental challenges so looking out for measures to reduce noise pollution in our environment will also reduce the rate at which people face these health challenges.

Like, let come to the area of generator, generator should be eliminated from the world automatically and replace it with solar and make solar system very cheap for everyone to acquire and electric cars can reduce noise pollution in the world.

Saying generators should be eradicated isn't a good idea because not every one can afford solar systems and moreover, their are countries that have average low weather temperature so how can solar panels help those countries when there is no sun to generate energy to power those solar systems? Instead they should produce more of sound proof generators.

In our local community , there is a certain fine for those who messes with so much loud noise specially in night time , though there are some who still violate in the early time yet if you reported them to the proper authority ? for sure they will come and acted according to what is necessary .
have reported several times and indeed that those stopped being noisy and yeah our village is noise free most of the time.

I'm having to wear ear plug on a daily basic due to the noise generated from the nearby couples who going abusive everyday, throwing tantrum at each other. It didnt help much but I couldnt be happier I can get rid some of them, but if they begin to yell it would be different story.

Actually, i think noise pollution can't be stopped totally but it can be reduced. Only if the country government it's not part of it  because in so many countries government officials(vehicle horns, sirens, Ambulance etc.)and government owned industries, airports,parks etc are major causes of these pollution.
Government can place regulatory orders on unwaranted noises in our environments and enforcement agency acting on defaulters of the order. I think with that it will go a long way by reducing noise pollution in our environments

[Fiasem20]

Noise pollution in some countries is highly practiced,and can't be stopped easily.Especially,in Africa noise pollution is very common.Noise pollution affect a person's mental health.It causes lack of sleep,lack of concentration and stress.It's funny enough when people say they're used to loud noise,if only they know the effect they'll look for a way to stop it in their neighborhood.
So therefore,one way noise pollution can be stopped is factories should not be built in a neighborhood.It should be built in a quiet place far from a neighborhood to avoid noise pollution.

It will be very difficult to stop noise pollution in my because due to some reasons. One of the major sources of noise pollution is generators. It cannot be controlled because there is no constant power supply. Many businesses and households depend on these diesel and PMS-powered generators for electric power. Many people cannot afford other less noisy sources of power such as solar. My country is also a religious one and some churches and mosques don't care about the sound they create in the society. They usually have large speakers that create loud sounds that are sometimes very offensive. However, the government is scared of making policies to control these religious institutions for fear of losing support during elections.

Some of the ways to curb this noise pollution are to make laws that control noise and enact sanctions for offenders. This law should be enforced without fear of tribe or religion. The government should also improve power supply or provide subsidized alternative power sources.
