2020 NATIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD NOISE SURVEY
Q&A
While you can always contact us HERE with any additional questions you may have, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions:
What is the ultimate point of this research?
We feel very strongly about community noise. However, at least in the United States, beyond noise ordinances and occasional op-ed pieces, very little is known about the urban soundscape or the residents’ response to such noise. We would like to start a conversation.
What inspired you to study noise?
The founder, Erica Walker, has been interested in sound ever since she experienced excessive noise levels while living below neighbors in an apartment complex. After experiencing restless nights and countless fights, she decided to research more about how urban residents are dealing with noise in their communities and found that she was far from alone.
