There are many noise polluters in Nairobi, esp in residential areas. Bars, screaming mosques, those funny Sunday churches where they beat drums like mad people. Its very frustrating. Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

Beats me why owners spent so much on everything except location? There goes the neighborhood. Lavington slowly being swallowed by the up-scaling middle class. Buru buru culture arrives in lavi. Next up Runda.

Its very frustrating. @kularaha, how would you describe diwali fireworks, corporate roadshow promotions etc?

Diwali fireworks seek special permission and are allocated venues and timings to do their thing. Corporate road shows are on the road and usually during day times. The above two are also not every day events - in fact they are few and far between happenings. That said, if and when there are cases where they become a nuisance they ought to be appropriately curtailed too. Isuni yilu yi maa me muyo - ni Mbisuu

The above two are also not every day events - in fact they are few and far between happenings. That said, if and when there are cases where they become a nuisance they ought to be appropriately curtailed too Adhan (call for prayer) from the mosque is average 2-3mins long and is called out only five times a day. It is also timing. In terms of noise, you cannot compare noise from diwali fireworks to adhan. Similarly, the noise from roadshows are way too loud. I think bottom-line is: what is that noise from. We're just biased society.

We're just biased society. I think that would have worked in the ancient time when people didnt have watches, phones, whatsapp etc but today one could set an alarm to remind them that it is prayer time. So blaring on a loud speaker at 5am is outdated and very inconveniencing for those of other faiths who need their sleep at that hour.

We're just biased society. Adhan is pure pollution, starting at 5am. If you want to pray, do it privately. If you want to call, do it over the radio. Don't bother me. Diwali is a nuisance. So much noise and so much smoke. Those fireworks should be banned. Roadshows I haven't experienced where I live. Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming
