For many, the noise pollution experienced during air travel is a routine occurrence, but for others, it becomes a significant source of anxiety, leaving them feeling utterly drained and highly stressed throughout the journey.
Noise from Children
Sharing his experience with us, Nam, a sales executive based in Ho Chi Minh City, recounted a recent flight from Hanoi to Saigon as nothing short of a 'nightmare.' A toddler, around one and a half years old, cried incessantly throughout the journey. Despite being exhausted from a two-day business trip in Hanoi and eager to rest, Nam found it impossible to sleep, even with headphones on, due to the child's persistent wailing.
Several passengers on the flight expressed their discomfort and complained to the flight attendants about the noise caused by the child. The parents apologized, and the crew urged understanding from fellow travelers. Most passengers eventually let it go, hoping for a swift landing to end the ordeal.
Another complaint came from a passenger named P. Linh, who shared her frustration about a flight from Thailand to Vietnam. A boy, approximately 5 or 6 years old, continuously kicked her seat and shouted loudly. When she politely addressed the parents, they barely responded or made any effort to control their child's behavior.
To handle such situations, you can politely ask parents to remind their children to maintain quietness during the flight. For parents with young kids, calming techniques like changing the way you hold the baby or gently rocking them can help stop the crying. For older children, bringing along toys or activities to keep them entertained during the flight can prevent boredom and reduce disturbances to other passengers.
Noise from Entertainment Devices
In addition to the in-flight entertainment provided, passengers often bring their own devices to pass the time. While listening to music or watching movies is common, some passengers may forget to use headphones, causing disruptions to those around them.
Be a considerate passenger by using headphones when enjoying personal entertainment. Other travelers also need peace and quiet to rest, read, or focus on their activities.
Beyond noise from children and entertainment devices, many passengers express frustration with fellow travelers who engage in loud conversations or chat in groups. This disrupts the quiet environment others need to rest or concentrate on work during the flight.
