First country to bring in legal controls?[edit]

This article is fundamentally flawed. The UK passed the Noise Abatement Act in 1960. See the Noise Abatement Society' webpage for more details.

i think the operative words here are enactment of broad based, enforceable legislation. the early action of the UK is laudable and now in the article intro, but the UK and Japanese actions fall far short of comprehensive attack on environmental noise. the UK laws did not have a basis for strict numerical limits on products and vehicles, nor the stiff fines for non compliance, nor comprehenive directives to local government which would lead to "teeth" in local building and planning standards. today the UK is progressing well but still not operating at the level of designing buildings for example as the U.S. does in local planning oversight. you are welcome to expand the international section, but it is important to be specific regarding what type of noise control each country actually has. i welcome your further involvement. please sign your posts in the future. cheers Covalent 23:22, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hotel picture[edit]

Has trhis hotel been soundproofed? If not, what's it doing here? I will remove it if no satisfactory answers in 2 weeks--Light current 22:14, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite need[edit]

I believe this article needs a pretty comprehensive rewrite. It seems to violate NPOV and especially fairness of tone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Npov#Fairness_of_tone The entire article takes the stance that noise regulation is a positive and that any slowness in it being implemented is "unfortunate". If I knew a bit more on the subject I would try to do rewrite myself but if someone more knowledgable than me could have a go at it that'd be nice. --BHC 19:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Need complete rewrite, refocused, and most of the content removed or condensed.[edit]

There seems to be very little editing going on, I am beginning to undertake a major rewrite of this article. The content is outdated, irrelevant, or unnecessary. I will attempt to streamline this article to focus on noise regulations, what they are, what they do, any latest updates, but I can only do so for the United States. Other international contributions are very much needed. I am slightly aware of European standards and regulations, but contributions are very much needed from Asia and the rest of the world.
