Is this a problem?

• Noise is more than a mere nuisance.
• At certain levels and durations of exposure,
  • it can cause
    • physical damage to the eardrum and
    • the sensitive hair cells of the inner ear and
    • result in temporary or permanent
      • hearing loss, known as noise-induced hearing loss.

Excessive noise exposure can

Watch: Why Noise Pollution is More Serious Than You Thought

So it is huge problem and we need to solve this problem.

Solution

Start with the core:

As human is the major and only source of noise pollution, we have to reduce the noise from inside.

the silence initiative: the inner silence

In this module Human have to be very mindful of

• what they are doing

• is their activity affecting others

• are they sensitive enough to care about other species

• Requirements

  • Awareness
  • Calmness
  • Sensitivity

• Source

  • Meditation
  • Self realization
  • Yoga
  • Mindfulness exercise

• No loudly speaking

• No walking with loud footsteps

• No snoring

• no loudly chewing

As human is quieter from inside they will be quieter from outside.

After individual performing Inner Silence with themselves they should perform the Inner Silence with their family.

the silence initiative: the inner circle

In this module a group of individual who have successfully completed The Inner Silence module must come together and practice silence within the group.

Here the group can be:

• Group of family members
• Collegues
• Friends
• Couple
• Common interest groups
• A class of students
• a team of players
• any group

Quantity of human should be limited, it should be a group not a crowd.

the silence initiative: the silence community

In this module the smaller groups come together to form a larger group that is community.

This will include all the activites that are performed in a community.

• Weddings

• Gatherings

• Public speeches

• Religous activity

• No loud speakers

• No mass chanting or shouting

• No bands

• No music concerts

the silence initiative: the silence machine

In this module we learn about machines. The machine is the most amazing invention of human from trains to super computers.

Machine are the only equipments that are reducing human efforts and increasing productivity. But here we need to make sure the machines are as quite as possible.

When there will be multiple

• human
• groups
• communities
• machines under the silence initiative, the world will become silence. Then the voices of unheard will start of grow.

We will listen

• the air
• birds chirping
• animal talking
• thunderstorms
• trees
• nature

and where there is sound (existence) of nature there is life.

and when there is life there is:

• love
• peace
• care
• calmness
• gratitude
• happiness

So, this is the silence initiative.

Execution of the silence initiative:

Thank you for reading till now, i know there must be questions, the things human have created it will very very tough to reduce the noise. So there has to be a better way to solve this. i mean you can’t just say to people not to play loud music, not enjoy their happiness, to not dance together, but you can create an area where these activities can be performed and no one else is disturbed.

New thoughts, resources and inventions

silence zones

We can create an online / offline silence zones where there is:

• no loud noise allowed
• no engine vehicle allowed
• no honking

Online:

By the means of geofencing this can be achieved.

Offline:

By the means of safe gaurding the area and putting banners.

eg:

Suppose there is a concert of Kendrick Lamar,

can we build a silence zone where the voice of the music is surrounded by some material that the noise will no go out of that thing?

here i used Qwen ai to do this, not perfect at all but we can think right?

silence commute

Electronic Vehicles.

Previously i mentioned Geofencing, as EV are digital enough

• the horn systems and
• noise of the loud music
• those can be disabled
• when the EV comes in a silence zone

decentralized applications

As the main core of the silence initiative is to empower the owner to be better, this can only be acheived by the platform which empower their consumers, producers and prosumers.

• Communities
• Activities

that need a technological intervention, the silence initiative will be utilizing WEB3 for it.

Because the platform matters a lot.
