Noise is generally considered as unwanted sound which produces unpleasant effects and discomfort on the hearing of the people. And, while it (sound) is indispensable to us and in our everyday lives, however `noise’ has never been associated as essential to us." He also cited the fact that recently there were complaints from people in our communities against noise pollution caused by vehicles, particularly motorcycles, where some riders remove the mufflers resulting to excessive noise, and do not only annoy people but pose destruction to them. Therefore, the SP of Bacolod City approved during its session yesterday, to request the Environment & Natural Resources Office (ENRO), BTAO and BCPO thru the Office of the City Mayor to implement City Ordinance #356, series of 2004.* by Edith Colmo Negros Daily Bulletin
