The environment as a fundamental right of the third dimension is not totally dissociated from the individual rights of the first dimension. So, noise emission disproportionately (noise pollution) causes environmental damage, but can also lead to violation of the right to be quiet. Despite being located in the right of neighborhood, the right to be quiet is a right of the personality with erga omnes enforceability and guarantees to the holder the respect to their personal decisions on the sensory impressions that should or should not reach their senses. This article aims to analyze the relationship between environmental protection, noise pollution and protection of the right to be quiet. To do so, the deductive method will be used with a technical bibliographic search procedure. Thus, it is concluded that noise pollution also causes harm to the right of the personality (right to be quiet), whose repressive tutelage is civil reparation through moral damages.
