NMNT is a community of people who want to have a more liveable city and a good sleep. Opinions here are my own, but should be somewhat connected to reducing noise for the benefit of people and our planet. Noise is a public health, equity and climate issue.

Can education reduce vehicle noise? In Fort Worth, TX, it did—with enforcement. A clear drop in just 3 months. Toronto can learn from this and do more to curb loud vehicles.

👏 Florence, AL just passed a strict 60 dB vehicle noise limit—measured from 6 feet away.

A real move toward public health, not just curbing vanity noise. Other cities, take note!

When does music become noise? What’s music to one can be noise to another. Cities don’t need to be quiet to be vibrant—but we can manage noise better. If Toronto can balance sound and soul, it could be the best city to live in.

Over 253,000 traffic cases dropped in Ontario — our court system is overloaded. ⚖️

We need admin penalties for minor offenses to restore accountability. It’s also key to enabling automated vehicle noise enforcement.
