China's Effective Noise Control Strategies

China has implemented significant strategies to combat noise pollution, achieving a notable improvement in urban acoustic environments. In 2023, the daytime noise control rate for urban areas reached 96.1%, while nighttime control stood at 87%. These statistics reflect the success of a newly established national network of acoustic monitoring that categorizes areas based on their noise control requirements. This innovative approach ensures different zones, such as residential, commercial, and industrial, maintain appropriate noise levels to enhance living and working conditions across urban settings.
