However, they are usually located close or within urban agglomerations and in particular main roads. Hence, hospitals are, in many cases, exposed to high levels of environmental noise. In this study of comprehensive one-month research project, traffic and community noise levels were measured and monitored at five sensitive areas (near hospitals) in its spatial-temporal aspect, at the city of Mysuru, Karnataka. Noise measurements were taken at different peak sessions in morning and evening, for duration of one hour. Observed noise values were analysed and compared with the recommended permissible limits (40-50 dB) as stated by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). The measured values exceeded the CPCB noise limits prescribed for sensitive areas. This paper presents an analogy of obtained noise readings with the national CPCB standards for silent zones.

levels produced by railway traffic at various locations along a
railway track in Mysuru city, using noise dosimeter. Railway
traffic noise creates problems for surrounding area especially
where there is high speeds and high railway traffic volume.
Due to the recent urban sprawl and also Indian Railways
being fourth largest network in the world it is a necessity to
understand the railway noise pollution and its implications on
human habitation.
