Researchers warn that urban noise pollution will exact a severe toll on Ho Chi Minh City eardrums
Nguyen Thi Thanh Huong sold her house on Pham Hung Street, early this year, due to the excessive noise created by passing vehicles and nearby eateries.
“It’s noisy all day and night. I can close the door to prevent dust from pouring in but there’s no way to keep out the noise,” said the 49-year-old housewife whose house sat on the main road connecting District 5 with districts 7 and 8.
“I could feel my house shaking from the passing trucks,” she said adding that she has lived on the street since 1999 when endless noise wasn’t a problem.
Huong now lives on a smaller, quieter street.
Residents all over the city now complain that noise pollution has reached “alarming” levels over the past several years, due to dense traffic, indiscriminate advertising and construction.
Nguyen Van Ba said his neighborhood in Binh Tan District has been steadily flooded with noisy factories over the past decade.
Work continues late into the evening, preventing most of the residents of Binh Tri Dong A Ward from getting any sleep.
