NMNT is a community of people who want to have a more liveable city and a good sleep. Opinions here are my own, but should be somewhat connected to reducing noise for the benefit of people and our planet. Noise is a public health, equity and climate issue.
This Giving Tuesday, help reduce unwanted noise in our beautiful Toronto. 🌆🔇

A gift to No More Noise Toronto is a gift to yourself — and the whole community. 💙

BMJ research shows noise pollution is a real health risk — tied to stress, sleep issues, and cardiovascular impacts. It’s time to treat noise as a public health priority.

More Peacefull cities = healthier lives. 🔇💙

Noise reports show 100% completion on the 311 Dashboard — but that’s only measuring investigation, not real resolution. We need outcome-based metrics that reflect lived experience. 🔊💪

Our bodies react to loud sounds the same — even if we “like” the noise. Let’s find balance between fun and rest by cutting unnecessary noise. 🚗
