## What Is Bonfire Night?
Every year on November 5th, people in England celebrate Bonfire Night (also called Fireworks Night). To remember an old historic event, fireworks are set off in parks, gardens, and streets. Kids, families, and friends gather to watch the bright colors, hear the booms, and have fun together.

## Why Should It Be Quieter?
Fireworks can be very loud. A sound of 120 decibels (dB) is as loud as a thunderclap. This noise can bother pets, birds, and even people. Cats, dogs, and birds especially get scared and stressed by loud bangs. That’s why some groups are asking for quieter fireworks.

## What Does the New Sound Limit Mean?
The government is thinking about lowering the loudness of fireworks bought in stores from 120 dB to 110 dB. 110 dB is about as loud as a car horn. This could make fireworks used at home less noisy. However, the limit for big shows in parks and public places would stay the same.

## What Does This Mean for Pets?
Cats and dogs don’t like loud noises. A noisy firework can make their hearts beat faster and cause fear. Pet owners can help by keeping pets in a closed room, putting on headphones for them, or playing calm music while fireworks are going off at home.

## Why Is It Important for Nature?
Birds and other wildlife that live outdoors also get upset by loud sounds. One group suggests lowering the limit even more, to 90 dB. This would shrink the area where the sound travels and protect more wildlife. But such a low limit might mean many store‑bought fireworks would be banned.
