Protect You Hearing, Protect Your Health

Join individuals and organizations around the globe in celebrating the 30th Annual International Noise Awareness Day, on April 23, 2025. Help raise awareness of the harmful effects of noise on hearing, health and quality of life, and inspire positive action in your community.

Given the global health issue so many of us are facing, we encourage everyone to plan local noise awareness activities only when it’s safe to do so in your community. In the interim, you're invited to sound off for change on social media. You can view hashtags and download the INAD logo on the Act Now page.

There are so many reasons to be passionate about turning down the volume on noise, but it all comes down to this:
