Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
The excessive noise, resulting from combination of sources, is known to cause adverse health impacts such as increased risk of hypertension and coronary heart disease, psychological stress and annoyance and sleep disturbance in adults. Considering the magnitude of the problem and its significance, it becomes relevant to monitor noise level in order to plan mitigative measures. In present study, the noise levels have been monitored at various zones of NOIDA City. The entire City has been divided into four different zones viz. Sensitive Zone (Okhla Bird Sanctuary), Residential Zone (Sector-15), Commercial Zone (Sector-18) and Industrial Zone (Sector-02). In each zone three locations have been selected for noise monitoring. The noise levels have been monitored using SL-4001 Sound Level meter from 9:00AM to 9:00PM. In each zones, noise levels have been monitored at three at three different locations for 12 hours. The analysis of results shows that the noise levels of sensitive zone is alarming; however, the residential locations have noise levels within the prescribed limits for day time. The monitored noise levels in commercial zone and industrial zones have been observed to be more than prescribed permissible limits for day time.
