The document provides information about the Buy Quiet Program, which is a voluntary approach to product noise control. The program encourages local governments, state agencies, and the federal government to use their purchasing power to promote the manufacturing and marketing of quieter products. The program works by governments or agencies requesting quieter products or services, and suppliers responding accordingly. The program aims to obtain quieter products without the need for regulation or mandatory product standards. Quieter models of various products used by governments are commercially available at little or no added cost. The program involves organizations such as the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing, the National League of Cities, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The document highlights the benefits of buying quiet, including competitive prices, little additional effort, energy and cost savings, and showing concern for the environment. The program is organized into four parts, including a Quieter Products Program, Local Buy Quiet Programs, a Data Bank for Quiet Purchasing, and Quiet Product Demonstrations. The document also provides examples of noisy products and mentions several cities and states that have initiated Buy Quiet programs. The Buy Quiet Data Bank provides information on product specifications and experiences of communities. The document includes contact information for further inquiries.
