Abstract
The acoustic landscape – one of important components of our environment – is destroyed proportionally to the progress of the civilization. Less and less silence is in it, but more and more noise and shout. The noise intensity rose constantly, but drastically during the last years. Different acoustic devices send sounds of which intensities are close to the border of pain. The noise accompanies us on every step. It is in such a way, as if somebody looks about that to daze the problems of the everyday life and to stultify people. In the increasing noise it is difficult, to act, to work, to study, to concentrate and to rest. Therefore, it is the highest time to protect silence. A fight against the excessive noise and for the restoration of the balance in the acoustic landscape are tasks of the ecology of silence. The ecology of silence is an element of systemic sozology and of the conception of the sustainable development.
