NoiseOFF - The Citizens Coalition Against Noise Pollution

The Citizens Coalition Against Noise Pollution

Noise pollution is a human health issue that is adversely affecting the lives of millions of people throughout the world.

Noise pollution is nerve shattering to adults and frightening to young children. People continuously exposed to noise experience elevated stress levels, mood swings, hypertension, depression, lost sleep and productivity. In children, it results in slowed learning.

We are a coalition of citizens, elected representatives, law enforcement professionals, educators, researchers, students and activists from the United States and abroad. We are dedicated to combating this urban blight that is ruining communities everywhere.

If you are experiencing a noise pollution problem, we can help you. Sign up at Yahoo! Groups NoiseOFF and learn how other citizens are working to reduce the problem in their own community. You are not alone.
