31st International Noise Awareness Day

Global Educational Campaign Founded by CHC

Wednesday, April 29, 2026

 

The 31st Annual International Noise Awareness Day, founded by the Center for Hearing and Communication (CHC), is an educational campaign that puts a spotlight on the negative impacts of noise on health and well-being and promotes the benefits of a quieter planet. Participants celebrate by planning activities in their local communities that address their most urgent noise issues. For some, that involves hosting hearing screenings or hearing protection workshops, observing one minute of silence at 2:15 p.m., or conducting a poster contest in schools to encourage healthy hearing practices. Others advocate for changes in legislation or promote technology that can make the world a little quieter. Together we can make a difference in promoting peace and reducing noise pollution in our communities. Learn more.
