In a bid to give people some peace they are creating 1000 silent zones in Mumbai, places where people have to be respectful and quiet so that others can escape the constant noise of the city. Check it out here
Its an interesting idea but I can't really imagine how they will manage to police it, and given how far sound travels I can't exactly envisage 1000 pockets of absolute tranquility amongst the hustle and bustle of city life, but I do like the idea and it's definitely something that needs to be considered given the ever increasing noise of city life and the adverse effects this Can have on peoples health.

- Sound is affecting, physiologically and psychologically; from the calming trickle of a lazy brook to the violent battery of the industrial machine.Yet we rarely consider these laws of sonic science, so locked into our visually dominant society we forget to respect the sound that brings our vision to life. By exploring the often forgotton sonic environment, Envirosonic attempts to understand the effects that sound has on our bodies, the role that it plays in our culture, and the sonic politics that govern our lives.
