National Noise Abatement Council (U.S.)

The Council was set up in 1940 when Noise Abatement Week was authorized and incorporated in 1941. Its purpose was to promote a national consciousness of the need for noise abatement and control; to publicize the causes and costs of noise and its harmful effects on individual health and efficiency; to publicize and disseminate information to the public concerning the advantages and benefits of quiet and the ways and means for controlling and abating objectionable noise on city streets and in public places, in factories, offices, schools, and homes. The Council was dissolved in 1961.
