International Noise Awareness Day is a global campaign aiming to raise awareness of noise on the welfare and health of people. Noise affects people in many ways, but onlydeafness and annoyance receive actual interest from the general public. People all over the world are called upon to take part via various actions on this occasion: open days on hearing from acousticians, lectures in public health departments, universities and schools, panels of experts, noise level measuring actions, and readings.
The movement also sponsors The Noisiest Country of the World Survey.
The day is commemorated on the last Wednesday of April of every year.
