abstract = "Noise is an important factor determining the quality of life in Singapore. With rising urban density and intensification of economic and transport activities, residents in Singapore are expected to be exposed to more noise disturbance in the coming years. At the same time, there is
growing public demand for a quieter environment. For instance, the number of noise feedbacks has steadily risen in the last few years, and are anticipated to increase further.Singapore takes a holistic approach in managing urban noise sources and has put in place noise control requirements
such as legislations, guidelines, etc to ensure that the quality of life for Singaporean could be maintained.This paper would provide a stocktake of the current urban noise management approach taken by Singapore and also the future challenges that Singapore faces.",
