What We Do

Working to preserve peace and quiet in our neighborhoods.

Our goal is to engage with local, state and government officials to ensure peace and quiet in our neighborhoods. Nothing is more precious than peace, especially in your own home. Quiet Florida was established due to the increase in noise pollution in Naples caused by loud/modified exhaust from motor vehicles in our neighborhoods and the aircraft traffic over our heads.  We have heard from many with concerns regarding vehicle traffic, especially on super streets like Collier Blvd, Vanderbilt Beach Rd., Immokalee, and the continuous aircraft overhead. Naples Airport has had exponential growth over the last three years and the air and noise pollution is negatively impacting thousands of residents. Our quality of life has changed drastically due to chronic, excessive noise.

 Noise pollution is detrimental to our health.  “A new definition of noise: noise is unwanted and/or harmful sound. Noise is the new ‘secondhand smoke”. Noise pollution can cause hearing loss or impairment, high blood pressure, heart disease, and other cardiovascular problems, stress, anxiety, depression, and other psychological problems, sleep disturbance and disruption of circadian rhythms, reduced productivity, concentration, and memory and interference with communication and social interaction. We use evidence-based research to educate residents and our politicians to demonstrate the harm that is caused by excessive, chronic noise.

 We are working with Commissioner Burt Saunders, Transportation Management Services, and Law Enforcement regarding the loud exhaust issue, there is a Statute 316.293 created in 1979, that clearly states loud/modified exhausts are illegal. City and County Law Enforcement are working diligently to protect our quality of life. Recently the Collier County Sheriff Office put out a number to call if you witness/hear aggressive driving 239-530-ZOOM.

 Naples is our home, and we deserve peace and quiet when we are in our houses, on our decks and in our yards. Quiet Florida encourages the elected officials, Naples Airport Management and Law Enforcement to pay attention to traffic and land use safety ordinances. The Board of Collier County Commissioners and our state and federal legislators should help us accomplish this.

 We can improve the quality of life in Collier County by channeling our efforts through voting and bringing awareness to our issues. Quiet Florida supports H.R. 4892 re-establishment of the Office of Noise Abatement and Control. We will lobby Florida US Congressional Representatives and Senators to sponsor and vote for these and similar legislation that will provide local communities ability to participate in decisions to reduce and mitigate the impact of low flying planes and funds to make local streets quieter.

  We have the privilege of working with other groups across the country combatting noise as well as a large National organization Quiet Communities: Noise Reduction Solutions and Education.
