Noise pollution is one of the biggest issues that cities have to deal with. Here’s what you can do to avoid noise pollution caused by private vehicles.

Noise pollution is one of the most difficult problems of urban civilization to deal with. We have managed to invent vehicles that take us from place to place, but it comes with a price. Smoke from vehicle exhaust, burning of fossil fuels and noise from various parts of the vehicle all contribute to pollution. Noise pollution caused by horn blowing and other traffic noises has a great impact on our ears and the biodiversity around us. It is necessary to take the following steps to reduce the level of noise pollution:


  1. Choose a cool vehicle:

There are some vehicles that specifically have loud silencers. Sometimes people even remove the silencer. Such vehicles expose our ears to extremely loud noises. Continuous exposure to loud noises can damage our eardrums and affect our hearing. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a vehicle that does not make a lot of noise while moving. You can also opt to make some modifications manually to make the vehicle even quieter.


  1. choose quiet tires

Looking at some of its features, it can be understood which tires will make less noise on the road. When it comes to tyres, the air chamber inside the tire is like a drum. When tires roll, the space causes a low-frequency hum. Quiet tires have the following characteristics:

  • Circumferential ribs that have straight grooves and are better for reducing noise.

  • Varied tread block sizes that form more than one pitch pattern.

  • Blocks that are small in size.

  • A reinforced shoulder to stabilize the tread blocks.

  • Inside the groove are small hash marks that help break up the airflow.

  • Narrow tires are comparatively quieter.

  • Soft but strong material.


  1. avoid horning

Horns were added to bikes and cars to improve vehicle safety. They are used to alert walkers that there is a vehicle behind them. This is an addition that should only be used when necessary. However, many people keep blowing the horn without any need. Such inadvertent honking adds to the already huge amount of noise in the traffic. This kind of noise can be irritating to drivers, causing discomfort to sensitive people, infants and the elderly.


  1. Turn off your vehicle engine at the signal

Stopping your vehicle and turning off its engine saves both fuel and unnecessary noise from the vehicle’s engine. It also prevents you from blowing the horn and creating more noise. So, whenever you stop at a signal that is going to be red for a long time, stop your vehicle and wait patiently.
