Some people say that the amount of noise that people make should be strictly controlled. Others say that people should be free to make as much noise as they wish. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Some
people
believe that making
noise
is something that should be restricted.
However
, other sectors of society think that
noise
is part of life and there is nothing wrong with it. In
this
essay, I will analyse
this
subject considering both points of view from my own knowledge and experience.
Firstly
, it cannot be disputed that a city is noisier than,
for example
, small towns or even the countryside. But what is the limit?
Noise
is something common in urban areas: there are cars, machines, building constructions,
people
walking around and talking at the same time, etcetera.
Nevertheless
, it is true that many times
noise
can
also
be disturbing, like the house parties in a residential neighbourhood late in the night on a working day. In these cases, turns out that it is essential to establish some rules in the community, avoiding bothering or interfering with other's
people
lives.
On the other hand
, if
noise
is part of our life and there is nothing wrong with it,
then
we would be allowed to make any kind of
noise
indiscriminately.
For example
, in the same case of the house party, the neighbours would not sleep in all night because of the loud music and chattering, causing stress and handover for the next morning. In
this
situation
Add a comma
,situation
show examples
it is clear
that is
not fair for the rest of the
people
who respect the expected time frame for sleeping and resting quietly. In conclusion, even if there exists freedom in humanity, personal freedom finishes where the other's person starts, which means that it is necessary that society agree to respect each other acting with empathy. In
this
sense, the compliment of certain social norms by
people
should be mandatory and
this
would include being quiet in specific moments of the day and places.
