In recent years, sounds emanating from schools are increasingly being regarded as noise, and complaints about the noise are gaining attention. Therefore, a questionnaire survey was conducted to elucidate the sound environment situation around elementary and junior high schools. The survey was conducted on 3 cities in Nagano Prefecture (Nagano City, Matsumoto City and Ueda City) and 3 metropolitan cities (Yokohama City, Nagoya City and Osaka City). Comments on noise from neighboring residents were around 20-30% in the 3 Nagano Prefecture cities, and 60%, or about twice as much, in metropolitan cities.
