Making noise

Q1.Is it good for children to make noise?

Ans:Yeah, honestly, I think it's totally fine, and even important, for kids to make noise. That's how they express themselves. When they laugh out loud, yell while playing, or sing at the top of their lungs, it's their way of showing excitement, joy, or just making things up and having fun. It also helps them build confidence. If they grow up feeling free to speak up and be heard, they're less likely to be shy about sharing their thoughts, expressing emotions, or even speaking in front of others later in life. But of course, there are moments when noise isn't really okay. Like in a library or on a train, where other people need peace and quiet. Or at home, if someone's working or trying to sleep, kids need to learn there's a time and place for everything.And in class, they have to understand when it's time to listen, not talk. Also, if the noise becomes aggressive or is used to get attention in a negative way, like constant screaming or interrupting others, it can actually be a sign of stress, not just playful energy.

Q2.Should children not be allowed to make noise under any circumstances?

Ans:I don't think so 'cause making noise is a natural part of their development and expression. However, excessive noise can be disruptive in certain settings, and it's important to be mindful of others' needs for a peaceful and quiet environment. For example, in public spaces like parks or playgrounds, children's noise levels are expected and acceptable, as these areas are designated for play and fun. But in places like restaurants, libraries, or hospitals, excessive noise can be disturbing and disruptive to other patrons or patients trying to enjoy their meals or rest. Moreover, in schools or classrooms, children should be taught to keep their noise levels to a minimum to ensure a productive learning environment and respect for the learning process of other children. Teachers may use noise as part of their teaching strategies, but it should be balanced with the need for a quiet and peaceful classroom. In addition, it's important to consider the impact of noise on the environment and wildlife. Loud noise can have negative effects on the environment and children should be taught to be mindfu' impact their noise levels have on it. In conclusion children should be allowed to express themselves and have fun, but it's crucial to find a balance between self-expression and respect for others' needs for a peaceful and quiet environment.Parents, caregivers, and children should be aware of the noise levels they produce and adjust accordingly in different settings to respect others.

Q.3What type of noise do you come across in your daily life?

Ans:We are surrounded by different sounds both indoors and outdoors. My typical day starts with the sound of boiling water as I can't imagine my morning without a cup of coffee. Every single day I'm accompanied by roaring engines, slammed doors, mouse clicking and constantly ringing phones.

Q4.Where is there louder noise, in cities or in the countryside?

Ans:Yeah, the level of noise in cities is much higher. In fact, it is so high that it is now regarded a type of environmental pollution. This is because nowadays cities are more crowded than in the past, which means that there's much more traffic on roads. There are more people talking everywhere. Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention air conditioning equipment which is one of the biggest parts of all ambient noise in today's cities.
