Love Your Neighbours - By Royal Command! Quiet Mark brings Easy Listening to a Neighbourhood near You!

WIN A QUIET LIFE every month with Quiet Mark in 2012 35 award winning brands give-away luxury prices for charity campaign

The Queen has asked everyone in Britain to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee by showing care towards their neighbours.

And, according to the UK's Noise Abatement Society, one of the best ways of doing that is to reduce the volume both inside and outside your home. Their busy helpline is jammed with complaints about neighbours' noisy lifestyles and the stress it brings, especially during the summer months.

The NAS launched the Quiet Mark awards this year, treasure-hunting the Quietest Machines in the World from cars to coffee makers, from hedge trimmers to hairdryers for soothing sounds in stressful times. All are now showcased in the world's quietest shop QuietMark

Over 35 leading global brands are on board across 23 design categories from AEG, LG, Lexus, Philips Samsung to Whirlpool in this first of its kind campaign, joining together to make the world a more peaceful place with their latest low-noise designs.

A percentage of the profits from Quiet Mark go to support all the campaigns of the NAS charity.

WIN A QUIET LIFE 2012 launches this week with a selection of luxury-brand prize give-aways each month to raise awareness of how sound profoundly effects our everyday lives at QuietMark.

NAS Chief Executive Gloria Elliott says: 'When someone says they have to turn up the telly to overcome the noise of the kettle, or the washing machine sounds like a train coming through the kitchen, then you start to see a picture of deep frustration, the effects of unnecessary noise on your quality of life, every day of your life, and maybe that of your next door neighbour.'

Quiet Mark's other government and industry sponsors and supporters include DEFRA, Swiss Department of Environment, Lexus and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.
