"Day against noise" - hotline for those affected in Saxony

On the occasion of the "Day against Noise" campaign day, those affected by noise in Saxony can once again call for help on Wednesday. But where can you call? And what is noise anyway?

This number provides advice against noise

Affected people and those seeking help can describe their problems to the Saxon State Office for the Environment, Agriculture and Geology on Wednesday. From 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., experts will be on hand to offer advice on +49 351 2612 5252.

This help is available

According to the ministry, problems cannot be solved directly over the phone. Instead, the aim is to show ways in which the noise problem can be solved.

This falls under noise

Noise has different sources: Cars outside the window, a railroad line, a soccer pitch or a drill.

This is the idea behind the campaign

The "Day against Noise" is a campaign by the German Society for Acoustics (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Akustik e. V.), which is calling on people to be quiet for 15 seconds at exactly 2.15 pm on Wednesday.
