Do you think fireworks are too loud?

It was Bonfire night on Thursday 5 November, with celebrations set to carry on through the weekend and firework displays taking place in many parks and back gardens around the UK.

But the government are looking at whether to make bonfire night quieter, by reducing the legal noise limit for fireworks bought in shops by half.

So could this year could be the last for fireworks at home as we know them? Keep reading to find out more...

Campaign groups say pets, wild animals, and some people find noisy fireworks distressing and potentially harmful.

Proposed plans would see the noise limit for public displays, such as a in parks and commons, staying the same but bring in reduced limits for fireworks bought for private use in people's gardens.

But what do you think? Are fireworks in people's gardens near you too loud? Or do you like them as they are? And do you think things should change at big displays in parks too?

There are already rules about who can buy fireworks and when they can be set off - no one under 18 can buy them in shops, and with exceptions for events like Bonfire Night, Diwali and New Year's Eve, no one can light them after 23:00.

Business Minister Kate Dearden said her department was considering further "reforms to fireworks legislation, focused on their key harms associated with their misuse - their noise, and contribution to antisocial behaviour – whilst still allowing individuals to enjoy fireworks safely and responsibly for the important community and cultural celebrations they play a part of.

The government is considering reducing the maximum decibels, which is a unit of measurement for noise, from the current 120, equivalent to a thunderclap, to 110, which is about as loud as a car horn.

However, some campaigners say this doesn't go far enough.

The Centre for Wild Animal Welfare (CWAW) has said that it needs to be reduced to 90db in order to protect wild animals in people's communities from acute stress.

This is because sound travels, and reducing the upper limit further would make the area affected by noise a lot smaller, they say.

However, the British Fireworks association say that would amount to a ban on shop-bought fireworks, as it would mean 95% wouldn't be able to be sold.
