Must We Have Noise (1972)

From the Caring About Our Community Series, produced by Gordon-Kerckhoff Productions. The film examines the presence and impact of sound in everyday life, from natural ambient sounds to the overwhelming barrage of artificial noise common in modern society. By drawing attention to the often unnoticed or ignored sounds around us, the film challenges viewers to reconsider their acoustic environment. Ultimately, it delivers a subtle but powerful critique of noise pollution, positioning it as a major yet overlooked environmental issue, and encourages greater awareness and responsibility in shaping a quieter, more mindful community.
