Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Noise Pollution Levels (Lnp) at three busiest cites i.e., Rail Bazaar, Jhang Bazaar and Chenab Chowk of Faisalabad city were evaluated. The noise levels were measured by noise level meter (NA-24 RION) at regular intervals of 5 minutes. The traffic noise levels were measured for three consecutive days to determine the behavior of Qeq and Lnp i.e., traffic density and noise pollution level, respectively. The Qeq and Lnp were measured from 7am to 7pm in three hours spell i.e., 7:00-11:00 (Morning), 11:00-03:00 (Noon) and 03:00-07:00 (Evening). Hence, all the three selected sites were found to be badly polluted with traffic noise having Lnp, on average, greater than 85dB (A) which may be able to hamper the health of local dwellers.
