Noise pollution is an often-overlooked environmental issue that can have serious consequences for human health and well-being. Prolonged exposure to excessive noise—whether from traffic, industry, or urban activities—can lead to stress, sleep disturbances, cardiovascular issues, and reduced quality of life.
EU regulations set noise limits for vehicles, machinery, and industrial equipment to minimize harmful emissions at the source. Member states are also encouraged to develop urban planning strategies that reduce noise exposure, such as green buffers and traffic restrictions.
Despite these regulations, enforcement in Malta remains weak, leaving residents exposed to excessive and unchecked noise pollution. Concerned citizens are now calling for the EU rules to be fully implemented and enforced in Malta to protect public health and quality of life.
