Noise and the City believes that noise is an overlooked community health issue. Our organization was started because we wanted to gain a better understanding of HOW LOUD communities are and to WHAT EXTENT residents are affected by community noise.We will accomplish this mission through:

• Community sound monitoring in cities across the nation
• Administering community noise surveys in cities across the nation
• Publishing community noise reports to be accessible to participating communities and peer-reviewed academic papers on community noise exposure and health
