NOISE POLLUTION
In our neighborhood, we will formalize agreements with tricycle drivers to lessen the noise pollution. At
home, we have to enforce discipline on the proper use of electrical appliances. We have to improve our lifestyle in
utilizing all these things that mess up our life because of noise. We hope we can do all these things to ensure a
noiseless life and enjoy the pleasure of silence.

I couldn’t sleep. There was a sing-along party in our neighborhood that lasted until 3 o’clock in the morning.
It was so noisy!
Noise is never pleasing! It endangers our health. There is so much of it around us. We are, now suffering the
consequences of high technology. Of course there are sounds that are pleasing and which enable us to be creative.
But mostly, the sounds we hear in the city are loud and destructive. Even inside our houses much noise is created by
the whirl of household appliances and the noise from the reviving up cars and tricycles is enough to terrorize.
