Abstract:

Industrial Noise pollution means noise pollution that is clashing and intolerable that occurs in most of the factories. Sound occurs in intolerable form only when it becomes offensive and when it becomes more than a limit that it is known as “noise pollution”. A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system that generate, be head of, investigate, and maps all forms of information given. GIS joins information to a map, combine location information (where data are to be) with all forms of illustrative information (what data is like present there). This leads to starting point for m

Abstract:

The third-most dangerous type of pollution, after air and water pollution, according to the World Health Organization, is noise pollution. Brief and prolonged exposure to noise pollution can have negative consequences on people, including psychological disorders, including anxiety and depression, hypertension, hormonal imbalances, and a rise in blood pressure that can result in cardiovascular disease. The WHO estimates that up to 40% of individuals in Europe are currently exposed to loud noises. This study makes an effort to predict noise levels in and around the School of Architecture and Pla

Long-standing research has shown that noise pollution has harmful consequences on human health. Environmental noise is becoming a significant problem in most nations. The spread of undesired noises into the environment is known as noise pollution. We are virtually constantly surrounded by noise. Environmental noise causes an illness burden that is second only to the air pollution-related disease burden in terms of scale. Due to noise from roads, trains, and airports, one in three persons is annoyed during the day and one in five has sleep disturbances at night. Noise exposure may have both a d

Abstract:

Birds in cities start singing earlier in the morning than in rural areas; commonly this shift is attributed to light pollution. Some studies have suggested that traffic noise has a stronger influence on singing activity than artificial light does. Changes in the timing of singing behaviour in relation to noise and light pollution have only been investigated in the temperate zones. Tropical birds, however, experience little seasonal variation in day length and may be less dependent on light intensity as a modifier for reproductive behaviours such as song.

Introduction: Noise pollution in the ADELCA steel mill, located in the area of Alóag, Ecuador, was identified as a significant environmental and health problem. This phenomenon caused hearing problems in the employees and affected the inhabitants of the sector, in addition to generating a negative environmental impact due to the waste or slag produced by the steel. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that approximately 278 million people in the world suffer from hearing loss, 50% of which could be prevented through appropriate measures.

The most common environmental concern in metropolitan cities worldwide is noise pollution. Kota metropolis (India) is also suffering from the problem of the increased noise level in the urban environment. Kota metropolis has been selected for the assessment of noise pollution. The main reasons behind the increasing level of noise in the city are increased population, rapid urbanization and industrialization, increased transportation facilities, urban development, construction and demolition works etc. The noise levels were recorded for day-time (6 am to 10 pm) as per Indian standard time for 9

The urban noise pollution is growing day by day and has become a universal problem for both the public and the policy-makers. The increase in number of market complexes, growing population and consequently increase in number of vehicles have inevitably caused major noise pollution in different public places and government offices. Now-a-days, there are records of high level of dissatisfaction due to noise incidence in and around different offices. Therefore, an attempt has been made to assess the noise pollution levels at 10 different office corridors in and around the city of Balasore. The no

This study aims to analyze the noise pollution levels in significant areas in Damoh City. Noise is usually an unwanted, unpleasant or disagreeable sound that causes uneasiness. Today, one of the major causes of environmental pollution due to human-caused or influenced activities is noise pollution. The present study is concerned with assessing ambient noise levels in different locations of Damoh City in August 2024. Noise levels were studied at 10 locations in two distinct zones (commercial and silent) in Damoh City. Recorded noise data were elucidated as parameters Leq, L10, L50, L90 and LNP.

Urban areas are increasingly facing the problem of noise pollution, which can significantly affect their residents' quality of life, health, and productivity. Noise caused by road traffic is one of the main contributors to this issue, particularly in cities with high traffic volumes. Despite its impact, the relationship between traffic patterns and noise levels at different times of the day remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate the variation in vehicle noise levels at different times of the day on Jalan Jenderal Sudirman in Pekanbaru City, Indonesia. The primary objective is to

Abstract Increasing levels of noise pollution in urban environments are a primary cause of various physical and psychological health issues. There is an urgent requirement to manage environmental noise by assessing the current levels of noise pollution by gathering real-world data and building a fine-granularity real-time noise map. Traditionally, simulation-based, small-scale sensor-network-based, and participatory sensing-based approaches have been used to estimate noise levels in urban areas. These techniques are inadequate to gauge the prevalence of noise pollution in urban areas and have
