Well, in the cacophony of the world, it is very difficult to find quiet places as noise pollution is increasing with each passing day. Here, I would like to mention a time when I visited the most crowdy and noisy place.
This happened two months ago when I traveled to Amritsar with my friends to pay obeisance to God. Actually, Amritsar is considered a holy city because of the golden temple and many tourist attractions.
Moreover, owing to Jallianwala bagh and bagha border Amritsar is the peak attraction city of Punjab. The noise was coming from a large crowd of people that were roaming the narrow streets of this city and many street vendors were shouting to sell their products.
Apart from this, the traffic system was not too good in this city that’s we had to face traffic congestion many times. There was a loud noise from the horns of vehicles which really disturbed everyone.
I felt under the weather because this noise totally ruin my curiosity to visit the golden temple even though I had a headache. To get rid of this problem me and my friends booked a hotel close to us as everyone frustrated from noise.
We rest for a few hours and then visited the golden temple and many attractive places. We enjoyed ourselves a lot after that as by sleeping we felt too good. So this was a time when I enjoyed a lot after that as by sleeping we felt too good. So this was a time when I visited a place with lots of noise.
Follow-ups
1. Is noise pollution serious in India?
There is no doubt that noise pollution is becoming a serious problem. Horns of vehicles, use of music systems at parties, and sounds produced by machines in the firms are the major sources of noise pollution. Deafness or hearing impairment becomes a common issue among older people in India.
2. Do you like to live in a noisy place?
No, I do not like to live in a noisy place because in a noisy place I feel uncomfortable and I cannot concentrate on my work so I prefer to live in a peaceful place with minimum noise from around.
3. Do you like to go to noisy places?
I personally do not like to go to a noisy place because it is not too comforting to me but due to some circumstances I have to visit old cities and industrial areas where I have to deal with noise and this really makes me feel uncomfortable.
4. Where can you hear a loud noise?
We can hear loud noise in several places especially in traffic jams and the old city areas where there is too much congestion of vehicles and people. Sometimes the celebration of weddings and festivals also create noise.
5. Do you think that there is more noise in people’s lives today than in the past?
Absolutely yes there is a lot of noise in comparison to the past because of technology and fast pace of life today people have become so careless about noise compared to the past while in the past people celebrated their happiness in a traditional way which was less noisy.
6. Do you think that cities will become noisier in the future?
I believe it can go on both sides. If certain measures are imposed the world would be noise free in the near future. However, nowadays governments are corrupted. They use the money for their own benefits rather than improving the world’s condition.
7. What is the noise in life?
Any kind of voice that is unwanted and loud is considered noise in life and people do not like this noise when it distracts and disturbs them so this is considered as noise in life.
8. How is the noise level in your city?
I live in a small town so there are very few traffic jams and industry is very small so there is not so much less but in metro cities the noise level is high due to population industries and many other circumstances noise happens more where people are crowded.
9. Where does noise in urban areas come from?
Noise from the urban areas comes from industrial areas, traffic jams,and rallies and celebration of different events and festivals. When a large number of people get together they produce noise.
10. Do you think it is important to be alone sometimes?
Yes absolutely it is very good to be alone. Sometimes it gives mental peace and one can concentrate on work and do creative things. Sometimes just to relax a person needs to be alone.
11. What is the importance of belonging to a certain group?
The importance of belonging to a certain group is to feel security and save when you are in a group there are many members who will support and help you in different front of life so people always like to be in a religious or a professional group where there are people of similar interest this really helps them in their life.
12. What are problem you could have if you go out together in big group?
When we go out together in a group the biggest problem is to communicate and to coordinate with others because there are too many people all together which is hard to handle and past a message everybody is busy in doing their own work and celebration so when there are more people together it is very difficult to get along and celebrate and do things together.
13. Why people like going to noisy places, like a restaurant or pub , even they know these places are noisy?
When people feel frustrated or they are stressed they want to be in a group which is celebrating life and eating food and dancing this kind of visuals really make a person happy in a difficult or sad moment so whenever people are alone or stressed they like to visit a pub they don’t mind noise in certain situations because they also want to celebrate and they want to forget things so they like to visit this kind of places.
14. Shall we encourage children to make noises?
We should not encourage children to make noises that really spoil them and make them look bad in front of people, so we should always teach them social behavior and manners.
