Description
Summary:In this paper the noise condition in the largest cities of Mexico is described by means of an “analysis of opposed.” The historical, sociocultural, political, economic, and technological factors that have positive or negative influence in the noise generation are considered, which imply a fight of opposites, in such a way that the current situation will be the resultant of all of their influences. By visualizing the noise pollution problem in this way, although not a quantitative approach, represents a very useful qualitative tool, especially to settle down strategies to reduce the noise levels in the cities. Unfortunately, in some cases, the inertia of the negative factors—which are the producers of noise—may cause that, in the short term, some positive proposals to reduce the noise levels may not result feasible.
