With this survey we aim to get a sense of the expectations that people who work, live and visit the area of the Quartier des Spectacles have in terms of the sound environment in the neighborhood. The results of this survey will be used to inform recommendations for improving current Montreal noise management strategies.

The survey will take 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Your answers are anonymous and you are free to withdraw from participation in any point of this process.
