As the college entrance examination and high school entrance examination are approaching, many places across the country require Internet cafes, karaoke bars, dance halls, game halls, etc. to suspend operations during the examination period.

A certain county's Culture and Tourism Bureau recently issued a notice stating that during the college entrance examination and high school entrance examinations, square dance teams are not allowed to bring audio equipment to organize square dance activities at open-air venues such as test sites, residential areas, hotels and inns where candidates are concentrated. Ensure that candidates' rest is not affected or disturbed; all KTVs, Internet cafes, entertainment halls, etc. will suspend operations and fulfill their obligations to inform and persuade customers.

Another notice from the County Culture and Tourism Bureau requires that from 8:00 on June 2 to 20:00 on June 9, all KTVs, Internet cafes, bars and other cultural and entertainment venues in the county will cease operations. During the college entrance examination suspension period, the telecommunications department will All internet cafes in the area will stop providing internet service signals.

Every time the college entrance examination is conducted, noise must be banned. This seems to be a good thing and reflects the society's concern and goodwill towards the candidates. However, the suspension of all cultural, singing, dancing and entertainment activities has reached the level of "banning noise". This is not only suspected of interfering with the normal operations of market entities, but is also likely to unconsciously increase the pressure on candidates and their families. Is it really necessary?

From the perspective of urban management, it is better to control noise in accordance with laws and regulations rather than "acting special measures". The "Noise Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China" has been implemented on June 5, 2022. This law addresses issues such as annoying nighttime construction noise, roaring noise of motor vehicles, excessive volume of entertainment and fitness speakers, and noise from neighbors' pets that disturb residents. Corresponding regulations were made and it was clarified that noise related to social life shall be under the jurisdiction of the public security organs. For example, in outdoor activities such as square dancing involved in the "noise ban" for the college entrance examination, even if the sound volume is too loud in daily life, you can still try to communicate with the person involved. If the communication is ineffective, you can call the police. According to Article 58 of the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China": "Anyone who violates the legal provisions on the prevention and control of noise pollution in social life and makes noise that interferes with the normal life of others will be given a warning; if he does not make corrections after the warning, he will be fined not less than 200 yuan but not more than 500 yuan." The following fines shall be imposed.” If the offender fails to make corrections after being punished, he may also be punished further for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.”

It can be seen that behind the "noise ban" notices issued by various places every year for the college entrance examination, there are some issues that should be addressed in normal times, and some requirements clearly exceed the normal management boundaries. For example, formally opened indoor commercial entertainment venues such as Internet cafes and KTVs should be highly closed and private. If the daily noise does not meet the standard, it means there are loopholes in the administrative management; if it does not produce a loud volume, The local government required them to suspend business with just a notice, and even required the telecommunications department to stop providing network service signals to all Internet cafes in the relevant jurisdiction. This undoubtedly interfered with the normal operation of the company and damaged the business environment.

Even from the perspective of candidates and their families, the "noise ban" in the college entrance examination should not be increased layer by layer, otherwise it will have the side effect of "going too far and not doing enough". People often say that the college entrance examination is an important step in life but not the whole story. However, in real life, this kind of approach is obviously too much. Is this creating a quiet and harmonious review environment for candidates, or is it inadvertently increase their anxiety?

In the past two days, my friend received a warm reminder from Shanghai Mobile that "there may be signal blocking during the exam." The author also received a call from the community property management to "lower the voice of the candidates." Such "no noise" reminders encourage people to express goodwill to candidates within their capabilities, which is understandable, but it does not mean that the world should revolve around candidates during the exam - this is unrealistic and unnecessary.

We must believe in young people. They will not be so sensitive and fragile that they cannot withstand the slightest external noise at important moments, and the college entrance examination is really just a step in their life.
