Horrible traffic induced noise in Dhaka city- do you care?


Do you really care about noise pollution in THE CITIES IN BANGLADESH! I am really very shocked to see how many people care about it. I have made this video in a residential area in Dhaka City in Bangladesh. 


What should we do to stop noise pollution?

I am looking for people's opinion on stopping noise pollution in developing countries where many people rarely care about it. Together we can develop a better place to live in peace.


Will you raise your voice against noise??


Media and the environmental concerned group have been discussing the numerous environmental pollution issues that Bangladesh is facing. One of the biggest threats to the inhabitant of the cities in Bangladesh is noise pollution along with other environmental issues. It is indeed a very unnecessary and unpleasant by-product of unplanned urbanisation and motorisation in developing counties like us. Noise pollution is one of the biggest threats to the inhabitant of cities in Bangladesh both in residential and commercial areas.


We call noise as NOISE POLLUTION when the level of sound exceeds the acceptable level of tolerance and create annoyance. Traffic induces noise is very undesirable and unwanted sound.


 My attempt to write on this issue is to create awareness among the city dwellers as well as to the concerned authorities to help reduce the noise pollution level. The reason I address the noise pollution issue is not just to examine how great or awful the present commotion level is, additionally to see precisely why this circumstance ought to be considered important. In other words, clamour contamination can be depicted as irritating or excessive noise that damages the regular habitat around us as well as the living things.


We are bound to expose to traffic-induced noise. There is no escape from noise pollution as the residential area even can not but tolerate it. Exposure to an abnormal state of noise causes severe stress on the auditory and nervous systems. Cities in Bangladesh being exposed to noise pollution which was very low during the 80s-90s. 


In any case, it is making inconvenience for the city dwellers it's a negligible phenomenon to the authority of the state. Noise pollution does not seem to be a major issue to the inhabitant of the cities. I have seen people mostly avoid, and don't want to protest against it. It is well known that most of the untrained drivers are causing this harm to the city lives BUT I have noticed bikers as well as the educated group of people who are driving blowing horns the same way as we blame the untrained - less educated drivers. 


We can take several steps to help reduce noise pollution. We can comprehend it and just through comprehension of it, would we be able to handle it.


Now my question is - Who shall we blame ?? Is it something we don't want to look at or we don’t really care about the peace of our country? It's who we are that can be the peacemaker and it is us who can be the peace breaker. Frequent exposure to a high level of sound hampers physical and mental peace. The place I am staying at the moment is a residential area. Maybe because I was in England for a long I could feel the difference more coz I hardly used to hear vehicle noise in any neighbourhood I have been in. If anyone asks me how patriot I am. I would say, I love my land but I would like to live in a peaceful, harmful noiseless land.
