Get Involved
Raising awareness of noise can be fun and Noise Action Week provides an essential focus for community engagement on noise management work and the opportunity to carry out innovative, enjoyable and valuable events.
Local authorities, mediation services, housing associations, and others involved in noise management can use Noise Action Week to promote services, raise the profile of noise problems you face and promote practical solutions to them:
- Local Authorities and Mediation Services- If you are a local authority or mediation service, Noise Action Week can raise the profile of your work in the short term, and in the longer term contribute to education and awareness raising and work towards managing future problems.
- Housing Providers – Informing tenants about remedies for noise problems and raising awareness of the impact of household noise can help build better relationships between neighbours and within communities.
- Schools- Education on noise can contribute to general education on citizenship and health.
- Noise Experts – For noise experts/acousticians, helping with noise promotions by demonstrating monitoring or loaning equipment can raise your profile too.
- Individuals – Get involved by joining in with any initiatives in your areas. If there aren’t any, encourage your local authority or housing provider to take part, or organize your own, spreading the word about Noise Action Week to your friends, colleagues and neighbours.
Whether you decide to carry out activities throughout the week, or just for one day, Noise Action Week allows you flexibility in choosing an appropriate time to raise awareness of noise that can fit around other commitments and/or generate maximum impact.
