Abstract
THE New York campaign against noise officially started on October 1, when the Mayor instructed the police to warn offenders and to educate the public without making arrests. The sounding of motor horns between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. is prohibited, and citizens have been instructed to keep their wireless apparatus at a moderate level. During the first three days, 4,071 warnings were given and 9 summonses were issued. The League for Less Noise has established an office for investigation of complaints, among which motor horns and barking dogs are most frequently mentioned.
