Reduce the maximum noise level for consumer fireworks from 120 to 90 decibels

Summary

We think each year, individuals suffer because of loud fireworks. We believe horses, dogs, cats, livestock and wildlife can be terrified by noisy fireworks and many people find them intolerable. There is independent research suggesting: • Over half of dog owners report fireworks-anxiety in their dog • There’s an 81% increase in missing dogs around Bonfire Night • Almost 25% of military veterans say fireworks have caused a negative experience for them We think both humans and animals are less likely to be distressed by fireworks noise below 90dB. We believe lower noise levels would allow fireworks to be enjoyed while potentially reducing some of their many negative impacts.
