Noise pollution and a solution

SAITAMA -- A man who tried to snatch a microphone from a Diet politician because he thought the legislator's speech was noisy has been arrested, police said. A 48-year-old teacher at Kaisei High School from Saitama was drunk at the time. "I thought sounds from his microphone were noisy," he was quoted as saying, according to Mainichi Shinbun.
