Noise in large cities is an unavoidable phenomenon: construction, transport, crowds of people. Prolonged exposure to noise increases stress, disrupts sleep and reduces concentration.
Let's look at how Dubai provides acoustic comfort by creating an environment where noise is not unpleasant.
Noise regulation.
Dubai has set noise limits of up to 55dB between 7am and 8pm and 45dB at night. Short-term deviations are allowed, such as five minutes of a hoover running at 70dB. Construction work is prohibited between 8pm and 6am on weekdays and before 7am at weekends.
Use of modern technology.
Noise and vibration monitoring systems are installed at construction sites. In the case of loud events such as helicopter shows, authorities give advance warning of potential noise.
Noise complaint apps.
Dubai has Dubai Municipality and the Department of Emergency Management apps through which you can lodge a noise complaint. Specialists visit the site, persuade violators to lower the volume and inform the police if necessary. In case of repeated offences, fines may be imposed or the source of the noise may be confiscated.
Soundproofing technologies and materials.
The choice of housing with good soundproofing is a guarantee of silence and comfort.
Considering the pros of buying property in Dubai, do not forget about those aspects that affect comfortable living in the metropolis.
