Dromm On the Issues: Noise

Curbing Noise Pollution and Increasing Noise Enforcement

As the area’s population grows and produces ever more vehicles, electronic gadgets, and other sound sources--noise is becoming a more pressing problem. Certain sound exposures are not only annoying but can also produce a range of adverse physiological effects and affect learning ability.

Our area is somewhat unique in the level of noise pollution residents experience. We have jet engines, car horns, booming sound systems from cars, truck engines idling, elevated train tracks and large air conditioning units which create decibels that are unacceptable in any environment.

As you city council representative, Daniel Dromm will enact legislation to double the number of noise enforcement officers in the city. He will direct the Department of Environmental Protection to conduct a study on the causes of noise pollution in our areas and to identity solutions to address it. Residents deserve to live in peace and quiet. With your help, Dromm will make this a reality.
