Noise

It is terrible living in a HDB flat. The amount of noise that one has to endure living in public housing is really overbearing. Noise from motorbikes without silencers, the braking of trains and generally the amount of noise that one hears from living in close quarters of poorly selected locations is really quite jarring.

I made a recording of the noise that I can hear from my room. The noise that one hears is not background hum-drum but rather noises which break from monotonous beat. These noises in itself is extremely disturbing and I suspect that it stems from inconsiderate actions of others who probably are more self-interested then they are self-aware.

This stem from the fact that a general lack of manners which result in an attention-seeking behaviour. There is a need for them to understand, the noise of one small vehicle can cause disruption to the surrounding areas. The noise travel with the vehicle and it does not just exist in a vacum. Hence these vehicle owners need to understand it's actions can have wide implications from it's one simple act of removing the silencer or flooring the turbo charger in densely populated areas.

If other vehicles can move without causing much of a disturbance, really the motorist must be aware of his inappropriate and rather inconsiderate behaviour.

I believed that when we see such behaviour, we must approach the person and tell him his inappropriate act. If one has to will to act, then one must have the will to face it's implications.
