L47-2:

Too high a price?

/tuː/ /haɪ/ /ə/ /praɪs?/

Burglar alarms going off at any time of the day or night serve

/ˈbɜːglər/ /əˈlɑːmz/ /ˈgəʊɪŋ/ /ɒf/ /æt/ /ˈɛni/ /taɪm/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /deɪ/ /ɔː/ /naɪt/ /sɜːv/

only to annoy passers-by and actually assist burglars to

/ˈəʊnli/ /tuː/ /əˈnɔɪ/ /ˈpɑːsəz-baɪ/ /ænd/ /ˈækʧʊəli/ /əˈsɪst/ /ˈbɜːgləz/ /tuː/

burgle. Car alarms constantly scream at us in the street and

/ˈbɜːgl./ /kɑːr/ /əˈlɑːmz/ /ˈkɒnstəntli/ /skriːm/ /æt/ /ʌs/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /striːt/ /ænd/

are a source of profound irritation. A recent survey of the

/ɑːr/ /ə/ /sɔːs/ /ɒv/ /prəˈfaʊnd/ /ˌɪrɪˈteɪʃən./ /ə/ /ˈriːsnt/ /ˈsɜːveɪ/ /ɒv/ /ðiː/

effects of noise revealed (surprisingly?) that dogs barking

/ɪˈfɛkts/ /ɒv/ /nɔɪz/ /rɪˈviːld/ /(səˈpraɪzɪŋli?)/ /ðæt/ /dɒgz/ /ˈbɑːkɪŋ/

incessantly in the night rated the highest form of noise

/ɪnˈsɛsntli/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /naɪt/ /ˈreɪtɪd/ /ðə/ /ˈhaɪɪst/ /fɔːm/ /ɒv/ /nɔɪz/

pollution on a scale ranging from 1 to 7.

/pəˈluːʃən/ /ɒn/ /ə/ /skeɪl/ /ˈreɪnʤɪŋ/ /frɒm/ /1/ /tuː/ /7./

The survey revealed a large number of sources of noise that

/ðə/ /ˈsɜːveɪ/ /rɪˈviːld/ /ə/ /lɑːʤ/ /ˈnʌmbər/ /ɒv/ /ˈsɔːsɪz/ /ɒv/ /nɔɪz/ /ðæt/

we really dislike. Lawn mowers whining on a summer's day,

/wiː/ /ˈrɪəli/ /dɪsˈlaɪk./ /lɔːn/ /ˈməʊəz//ˈwaɪnɪŋ/ /ɒn/ /ə/ /ˈsʌməz/ /deɪ,/

late-night parties in apartment blocks, noisy neighbours,

/leɪt-naɪt/ /ˈpɑːtiz/ /ɪn/ /əˈpɑːtmənt/ /blɒks,/ /ˈnɔɪzi/ /ˈneɪbəz,/

vehicles of all kinds, especially large container trucks

/ˈviːɪklz/ /ɒv/ /ɔːl/ /kaɪndz,/ /ɪsˈpɛʃəli/ /lɑːʤ/ /kənˈteɪnə//trʌks/

thundering through quiet villages, planes and helicopters

/ˈθʌndərɪŋ/ /θruː/ /ˈkwaɪət/ /ˈvɪlɪʤɪz,/ /pleɪnz/ /ænd/ /ˈhɛlɪkɒptəz/

flying overhead, large radios carried round in public places

/ˈflaɪɪŋ/ /ˈəʊvɛhɛd,/ /lɑːʤ/ /ˈreɪdɪəʊz/ /ˈkærid/ /raʊnd/ /ɪn/ /ˈpʌblɪk/ /ˈpleɪsɪz/

and played at maximum volume. New technology has also

/ænd/ /pleɪd/ /æt/ /ˈmæksɪməm/ /ˈvɒljʊm./ /njuː/ /tɛkˈnɒləʤi/ /hæz/ /ˈɔːlsəʊ/

made its own contribution to noise. A lot of people object to

/meɪd/ /ɪts/ /əʊn/ /ˌkɒntrɪˈbjuːʃən/ /tuː/ /nɔɪz./ /ə/ /lɒt/ /ɒv/ /ˈpiːpl/ /ˈɒbʤɪkt/ /tuː/

mobile phones, especially when they are used in public

/ˈməʊbaɪl/ /fəʊnz,/ /ɪsˈpɛʃəli/ /wɛn/ /ðeɪ/ /ɑː/ /juːzd/ /ɪn/ /ˈpʌblɪk/

places like restaurants or on public transport. Loud

/ˈpleɪsɪz/ /laɪk/ /ˈrɛstrɒnts/ /ɔːr/ /ɒn/ /ˈpʌblɪk/ /ˈtrænspɔːt./ /laʊd/

conversations on mobile phones invade our thoughts or

/ˌkɒnvəˈseɪʃənz/ /ɒn/ /ˈməʊbaɪl/ /fəʊnz/ /ɪnˈveɪd/ /ˈaʊə/ /θɔːts/ /ɔː/

interrupt the pleasure of meeting friends for a quiet chat.

/ˌɪntəˈrʌpt/ /ðə/ /ˈplɛʒər/ /ɒv/ /ˈmiːtɪŋ/ /frɛndz/ /fɔːr/ /ə/ /ˈkwaɪət/ /ʧæt./

The noise pollution survey revealed a rather surprising and

/ðə/ /nɔɪz/ /pəˈluːʃən/ /ˈsɜːveɪ/ /rɪˈviːld/ /ə/ /ˈrɑːðə/ /səˈpraɪzɪŋ/ /ænd/

possibly amusing old fashioned source of noise. It turned

/ˈpɒsəbli/ /əˈmjuːzɪŋ/ /əʊld/ /ˈfæʃənd/ /sɔːs/ /ɒv/ /nɔɪz./ /ɪt/ /tɜːnd/

out to be snoring! Men were found to be the worst offenders.
