"Day against noise" in Switzerland
The Day against Noise on April 30, 2014 is dedicated to the nine biggest misconceptions about road noise, provides answers and points out approaches for action.
One in five people living in Switzerland is exposed to excessive noise during the day. The main source of noise pollution is road traffic. This year, the sponsors of the Day against Noise are therefore focusing on the nine biggest misconceptions about road noise.
The "International Noise Awareness Day" was launched in 1996 by the New York "League for the Hard of Hearing". In 2005, on the initiative of the Cercle Bruit, the Swiss Society for Acoustics, the Swiss League Against Noise and the Physicians for Environmental Protection, Switzerland actively participated in this day of action for the first time.
