Abstract
sound is basically generated through vibrations. The sound generated through unsystematic and unorganised vibrations is termed as noise. Noise pollution is an often-overlooked source of environmental stress that can raise hearing loss, stress, sleep disturbances, heart disease, and more. Change in life style in developing cities like gwalior, leads to rapid increase in use of automobile, owing to long distance location of work place and lack of availability of public transport. People prefer to use their personal vehicle (two/four wheeler) rather than to wait for the public transport. Excessive use of automobiles in addition to uncontrolled traffic movements leads to severe noise pollution. Noise pollution is one of the major component of pollution. It has become major concern for health hazards and quality of life. The present study focuses on noise pollution in gwalior city through traffic network of roads. Gwalior is one of the main cities in madhya pradesh, located 319 kms in south of delhi. This is main education and commercial centre of northern madhya pradesh. Students from surrounding towns and villages come to gwalior for better education opportunities. Certainly this contributes to increase in traffic in the city. Being a major commercial centre, farmers and traders from surrounding areas visit the city frequently. The commercial commodity flow is through automobiles, which adds to noise and air pollution. Major parameters for analysis in this paper are: l10, l50, l90, equivalent sound level (leq), traffic noise index (tni) and noise pollution level (lnp).
