I think these are excellent questions, but one that is key to your issue that you don't address directly is "what is the relationship between noise pollution and overall well-being. In other words, how does it stack up with other stressors in our day to day lives.

Another possible question might be to check the degree to which people use the "dangerous noise level" notifications on their smart phones in order to adjust where they go and how they conduct their lives (for example, do such notifications make people attend loud live music events less often)?

These 30 questions about noise pollution and its impacts on daily life, particularly in Japan, highlight the significant concerns people have regarding unnecessary noise and its effects on health and well-being. Noise pollution, ranging from loud advertisements to the noise of recycling trucks and election cars, is a prevalent issue. The questions also reflect on work-life balance, sleep disruption, and the overall stress caused by noise. It's interesting to see the inquiry into the effectiveness of current policies and soundproofing methods, as well as the societal tolerance towards noise. This compilation of questions encourages a deeper look into how noise pollution affects not just physical health but also quality of life, prompting discussions on possible improvements and solutions for a quieter, healthier environment.
