I don't know where to start on this, but I am pretty annoyed with a lot of My Street guys and pals, they are so guilty of Noise pollution.
First off the Portable Bluetooth Speakers have now become a weapon of Mass Sound Destruction lol.
Both Youths and Elderly carry speakers around as if they are hawking some sort of products but it's actually not for that purpose, they just cruising with it all around, playing songs on it to the Loudest volume.
Most of the time they do this, they feel so proud of themselves, it's so crazy 🤣, people literally do this In public and everywhere they go.
This is one big noise pollution situation that is currently a norm in My Place in Benue state.
Although it could have been worse, I remembered vividly last 2 year ago, when I was still staying in a face me I face you apartment (A type of Single housing containing many similar built room), we are all having generators due to the Bad electricity supply, at Morning we have a lot of noises around the compound due to the sound of The Generator that keeps being on almost all the whole day.
The Night time were the worst, we couldn't even have a moment of quite in our compound.
I remembered I did some naughty things during those time : like switching off my neighbours gen, just to provoke and pull their legs. But the truth was that the Noise pollution was overwhelming, the sound of multiple generators is simply chaotic, but a big thanks to the introduction Solar system.
For me, Noise pollution in this form of Bluetooth speakers and Sound of Working generators, usually make me not focused, sometimes I can't even read and understand because of the Noise.
I believe music is a good stress reliever but when music is played on a ridiculously high volume, then I believe that is no longer music, it's totally Sound pollution.
I have a neighbour that recently joined us in the compound,.this guy's name is Terve, I want to believe terve don't believe in doing things moderately, he plays the Bluetooth speaker even at Night, the noise never really end during the day time but even at Night when we are supposed to be asleep. The problem is not even about him playing songs but the way he turned up the Volume, it's so crazy, I had to meet him one day to discuss how I can't sleep because of his recklessness, after a lengthy talk with him, he said he Agreed but resumed doing his crazy stuff, I didn't even bother to talk to him again about the issue.
What is the way out of this issue?
Many things have been running my mind about the issue of sound pollution, since almost everyone owns on speaker or another,
Maybe the Bluetooth speakers usage can be Regulated, although I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Also people should be educated on the Usage of such devices.
In conclusion:
Honestly noise pollution might look very harmless but it does a lot of Harms to people. We should all be educated and Civil in Using our Gadgets, in this post I spoke mostly about the Bluetooth speaker because it is now a wild spread behaviour in my Street.
