TOPIC: There is too much noise in many public places in cities. What are the causes of this problem? What can be done to solve the problem?

Noise pollution is increasingly serious in public places in urban areas. This essay will discuss some reasons why this has occurred and suggest some feasible solutions to tackle this issue.

Noise pollution in public areas can be attributed to some major causes. First of all, it is obvious that overpopulation can be considered as a main reason. In other words, nowadays, there are more and more rural people migrating to major cities, leading to a significant increase of sounds from transport means and public activities. As a consequence, noise pollution becomes excessively/increasingly severe in megacities. In addition, the development of tourism is also to blame for noise pollution. To be more precise, sounds of noises can be made from the crowds of domestic and international visitors in public places, which have a negative effect on the atmosphere surrounding major cities.

In order to reduce the severity of the aforementioned problems, practicable measures should be applied promptly by governments and individuals. In regard to the government, they need to enact proper rules in public places with the purpose of restricting noise. For instance, in Vietnam, so as to decrease noise in public areas, the local authorities set warning boards with words named “Do not make noise” in these places, this contributes to a noticeable drop of noises. In terms of individuals, people should be fully aware of harmful effects from noises and spontaneously do not make noise in public areas by complying with rules of the government given.

In conclusion, population explosion and the growth of tourism in metropolises have led to noise pollution. However, this issue can be addressed by the assistance of the government and the awareness of individuals.
