The most annoying aspect of traffic noise has to be the boy racers with windows wound down, subjecting us to awful music. However, I usually find a lighted cigarette flung into the car sorts them out.

Ooh yeah - very noisy.
How stupid was the question.

The loudest noise emanates from the suburbs - it is the din of whingeing Daily Mail and Express readers.
Will they ever shut up ?

They most annoying cause of noise pollution in Cardiff (as i'm sure it's the case in most cities across the UK) is idiotic drunk morons staggering around town who think shouting and singing random drivel makes them look good. Also, teen chavs riding those stupid scooters everywhere.
You want to tackle noise pollution? Start by tackling stupid people, preferrably in the literal rugby sense.

"You want to come here to Sandhurst.
Amongst the (acceptable) gun shots (training our future Officers) every evening, the ASBO's next door are far more annoying and loud than a fleet of tanks.
But obviously I'm not paying enough council tax to get BFBC to get off their back sides and do anything about it."
Ian, as a fellow Sandhurst resident, I feel your pain. The local (Tory) council are useless.

As a motorcyclist i can tell you, "loud pipes save lives" the number of times that car drivers havent looked properly, but my exhaust as warned them of my presence is scary. If drivers looked better, i wouldnt need a loud exhaust. End of.

What a terrible thing to say! Once it's been hit by a lorry the poor thing is completely inedible!
Alex Marshall
Well, precisely Alex! Who wants a mouthful of gravel in their kitten bap?
Shaman Williams
Which is why you should only eat the ones hit on the A roads and motorways, the tarmac has hardly any bits on it (better for the teeth)

Hello everyone
How noisy is your city?
The noise that really grates on me is the loud badly enunciated ranting of racists and bigots
Philby bradlaugh, United Kingdom
Hi Phil,
You mean like the ones who taught us the creed of multiculturalism now discredited - or the ones who blew people to pieces on the London underground - those bigots?
I guess you own a motorbike and are far more PC than Cabbies eh?

I still think Spurs will win a cup this season.
Eh what? Not relevant? I thought that was more applicable than some HYS comments this week...
Have a nice weekend everyone.

Do you think we can discuss the cricket now? The moderators are probably on their tea break. No stamina those Aussies. Comes to the tenth round and our lads are still in their punching and winning.

Man Made Noise Pollution (MMNP) has increased exponentially since the invention of the stereo in 1956. This hockey stick graph shows clear evidence ........./
I propose a tax on Rock'n'Roll of 1 pound for every smack on a drum and 1 pound for every twang of a guitar.
Pop bands will be exempt, coz that ain't music and all the dweebs listen to it through earphones anyway.
..except for the guy who sits next to me on the bus going tickety tickety tickety, I want him beheaded. hehe

Darlington has come fourth in this, yet the town has endured many months of traffic congestion, and 'roadworks' in the town centre which is being pedestrianised. I wonder if that was taken into account?
Beth S, United Kingdom
Beth: are you SERIOUSLY giving this consideration? It's a dumb survey which tells us pretty much exactly what common-sensed people already knew. WAKE UP WOMAN!

The only thing you can hear in torquay is the constant sound of Traffic Wardens slapping tickets onto cars.
They are even ticketing parents taking their children to Brownies, and Rainbows now!!
Ken Thompson
Well walk, it will save your lardy backside and money

"The only thing you can hear in torquay is the constant sound of Traffic Wardens slapping tickets onto cars."
Torquinnians should reclaim their streets and fill them only with the gurgling sound of freshly-disembowelled traffic wardens!

I blame Global Warming for all this noise. And Tony Blair and George W Bush

Is traffic noise driving you to distraction? No it is the sound of Police cars sirene in search of Muslim extremists !!!! in Birmingham that affecting my good night sleep.
I am sure my community will be use to it each time there is a headline about Tony and his involvement directly or indirectly with matters like the "BAE and Saudi arm deal" or "cash for honours enquiry". It is easy to wind up Muslims and to use them as scapegoats for Tony's benefit!

Ironic that the BBC should run a forum on noise considering the shameful silence on the issues raised by the Undercover Mosque documentary. There has yet to be a single topic on the Birmingham terror raids or the reaction by the Muslim community, despite these stories being front page news every day. Perhaps someone should remind the BBC that it exists for the benefit of license-fee payers, not as a tool to spin out the government line on community relations.

Loud in the cities you say? Well blow me over with your gigantic subwoofer and call me deaf.
As a man i have noise filter switch. Sometimes i even hear her ;-)

Sorwar Ahmed...are you joking or just plain stupid ? With morons like you, no wonder Newcastle has a reputation for thickos !
And when did Newcastle's team or "fans" ever win anything anyway ?

[How can so-called "Professor" Deepak Prasher be so naive as to assume that such a survey is representative and statistically significant?]
He's probably one of the government's global warming scientists doing a bit of moonlighting.

Mr deepak prasher must be an idiot. What a total waste of money which could have been spent helping asian peoples who are starving. Briton is not a nice place...we know that already....

Having been to both Newcastle and Bombay several times, I can honestly say that Bombay noise is worse.....but so is Bombay filth. While Newcastle's urban noise is a mix of charming city sounds, Bombay noise seems to blare for the pointless sake of blaring. But for me, the real issue is urban filth. Newcastle is not filthy, but Bombay and every other city in India are caked with filth of all kinds. Those cities stink as no others can. It's cultural.
North East city Newcastle is the noisiest urban area in England, with residents facing severe hearing and health problems, according to a new report.
The city topped a traffic noise table with 80.4 decibels – roughly equivalent of a loud alarm clock constantly ringing. Tranquil Torquay, in the south of the country, emerged as the quietest at just 60 decibels.
Report author Professor Deepak Prasher said noise is not only annoying, but can raise stress levels and threaten health and well-being.
What is your city like? What other urban noises drive you mad? Do you agree with the report's findings? Is it time to tackle noise pollution? Send us your views and experiences.
