Keep your mobile telephone at a low volume.

If you have to raise your voice when you are talking to someone, something is wrong. Look for what is creating noise around you and what you can do to control it.

Train your pet dogs to not bark without reason.

Make an effort to reduce noise at night time when people are sleeping.

If you want to share your music with people who live near you, do not do it by playing music louder. Play music at a level that only you can hear, or only indoors.

If you live a life that creates a lot of noise, plant tall plants around your home. These plants will block some of the noise that you create.

Instead of driving a car or riding a motor bike, ride a bicycle instead. This will reduce noise on the roads. And finally, if you have children, take them to quiet areas and let them listen. Teach them to value quiet in their lives.

Escaping from the noise of life can give us energy. It can make a person calm. It can help bring balance to the body. Quiet can bring us closer to God and help us rest.
