Abstract
The intent of this article is to examine noise regulation from a global
perspective. Lessons drawn from the development of regulations in
Europe, North America, and the Pacific regions have been extrapolated
to the anticipated and emerging regulation of noise in other regions.
The discussion is guided by four generalizations about national noise
regulation:• Just as the psychological development of individuals
begins with their addressing safety needs and evolves toward the
consideration of aesthetics and spiritual well-being, noise laws
focus first on basic needs and gradually move toward consideration
of aesthetics and spiritual well-being.• The technology available
when a noise law is enacted is likely to determine the enforcement
procedures incorporated into that noise law.• Once a bureaucracy
adopts a technological approach, it resists change to a better approach.•
Globalization drives the harmonization of regulations concerned with
low noise emission products and methods of assessing noise from transportation.By
considering the lessons already learned by countries with existing
noise regulations, developing countries have the opportunity to develop
cost-efficient and enforceable regulations.
