What does the "Law on Silence" say, and how to deal with its violators.

The modern rhythm of life for many city residents becomes a real test. Multi-apartment buildings are like a big anthill, the noise in which does not cease either day or night. But for fruitful work each person needs a full rest, which becomes a real dream. For those who are only dreaming of peace, it will be useful to know that we have the "Law on Silence".

If neighbors do not let you live peacefully with their scandals, the child behind the wall screams or cries often, and the neighbor's teenager prefers to listen to rock at full power of their speakers, then you have only two options to make your stay at home calm. In the first case, it is enough simply to change the residence from an apartment building to a secluded cottage. If such a decision does not suit you, then the "Law on the Silence of the Russian Federation" will help you.

You can always try to talk to your neighbors. Perhaps this will lead to positive results, and they will become quieter. But what to do in the event that your rest is disturbed not only by the tenants of the house, but also closely located kiosks, entertainment establishments, construction sites, or is the alarm constantly on the cars from the next parking lot?

First, carefully study the Federal Law on Sanitary and Epidemiological Well-being of the Population. One of its subsections is called the "Law of Silence". It gives clear definitions of the permissible level of noise in the daytime and at night, as well as the time frame. Many of us know that you can not make noise after 23 hours, but do not understand what you can do and what not. Let's take a closer look at this.

The noise level can be measured with the help of specialized equipment. In the interval from 7 to 23 hours, it should not exceed forty decibels. And from 23 to 7 hours his level should be no higher than thirty decibels. For a simple philistine, such figures have little to say. Therefore, we give simple examples. The noise level in a person's conversation is approximately 65 decibels. The alarm sound will already be about 80 decibels. And if a shot from the gun sounds near your ear, then the noise level will be 160 decibels. The sound of an alarm on a car parked near the house is 80-100 decibels.

If peaceful conversations with neighbors lead to nothing, you need to turn to the district police officer. Unfortunately, the police do not often react to such signals. You must have two witnesses who are ready to confirm that the noise from the neighboring apartment or car park is very bothering you. But where to find these witnesses at night, especially if you live alone?

Do not despair. Always remember that the law on observance of silence has not been canceled. It must be observed by all residents of the Russian Federation. Therefore, order an examination for measuring the noise level. The result of this operation will be an act given to you in your hand, in which the following parameters will be indicated:

• Terms of the examination (date, time, place, number of times).
• Technical characteristics of the equipment used.
• Witnesses who were present during the measurements.
• Expert opinion.

With such an important document in hand, you can calmly go to court and demand a solution to your problem, referring to the "Law on Silence." Such actions always give a positive result.

And although in each region of the Russian Federation there are amendments, the "Law on Silence" provides for serious administrative punishment. For ordinary residents, the amount of the fine is small and amounts to 100-500 rubles. But the organization, for not complying with such simple rules, can pay 20-40 thousand rubles or suspend all work for up to three months, which will be a more significant punishment than a fine.

Do not be afraid to speak out in defense of your rights. Well knowing the laws and various regulations, you can punish the violator of your peace of mind. Receiving a full rest at night and on weekends, you can feel the fullness of life and give more strength to your work.
