What makes a city bird-friendly?

On Earth Day, it’s worth considering how sound shapes the environments we share with wildlife.

#EarthDay #BirdFriendlyCities #NoMoreNoise

A thank you to all of the volunteers who support No More Noise!

Your contributions make this work possible.

#VolunteerAppreciation

The sounds around us 🔊 from traffic to construction to daily movement 🔊 are part of how we experience urban life.

As our cities grow, so does the opportunity to think more intentionally about the soundscapes we create.

#NoisePollution #UrbanHealth #HealthyCities #NoMoreNoise

Sound is a shared experience.
In cities, it moves beyond individual spaces and into the community.

Noise pollution is likely a contributor as well. Our #1 noise source is transportation.

A space to connect, share updates, and discuss how we can improve the soundscape of our cities.

Noise doesn’t have to be loud to have an impact.

Even background sound can affect how we rest and feel over time.

Encouraging to see noise pollution resonate at the recent ITS Conference.
Transportation remains the #1 source of environmental noise — and it’s clear this is an issue that cities and authorities (i.e. marine & airports) need to pay attention to. #ITSCanada #HamiltonOntario #NoMoreNoise

It’s not always the volume — it’s the repetition.
Small, repeated sounds can have a bigger impact than we realize.
#NoMoreNoise #NoisePollution #UrbanCalm

Noise doesn’t always end when the sound stops. Our bodies often carry the impact longer than we realize.

Noise isn’t always obvious — but its effects are.
From sleep disruption to increased stress, constant background noise can have a real impact on our health and well-being.
Creating calmer, more intentional spaces isn’t just about comfort — it’s about public health.

And between those hwys you don't hear loud acceleration, crackling mufflers and racijg motorbikes?

Sounds great.

Too bad that we can't live there. In my home there is no respite.

Join this upcoming webinar exploring how environmental noise impacts our health — and why, despite decades of regulation, many of these challenges still persist today.

Yes, road, wind and tire noise contribute to that humm.

What is unnecessarily loud is the vanity noise from modified mufflers and poor driver behaviour. The backfiring and roaring off the light has to stop.

Walkable, bike able cities are much calmer. One can exhale... and relax.

Noise is more than a nuisance — it’s a health issue.

Pontevedra… a not loud city feels like Pontevedra Spain. We already know. Massively reduce and/or eliminate cars and go hard on pedestrianism. The silence is like a big hug, you never realized an urban place could be like a snuggly womb!!!!

Cities don’t need to be loud.

What would a calmer city feel like?

Thanks for that lovely video! Noise impacts our hearing of the natural world and the functioning of it. Noise pollution makes it harder for birds to hear each other, find mates, for young to find their homes. We need to reduce noise so we all can live better and happier.

Noise is a public health issue. Our bodies react to urban sound even while we sleep.

Whether in Europe or Toronto, we have no defense against sound.
