IRJET, 2021
Noise is a phrase related to unwanted noise that disrupts the high-quality of lifestyles .Whilst the noise in the atmosphere exceeds a hard and fast limit is called noise .Maximum noise interferes with day by day activities which includes sleep, conversation. It's far a form of pollutants that turned into previously left out but as increase and development took place, excessive noise started to disrupt human interest. This leads to the identity, measurement and manipulate of noise through who. The paper provides a description of noise pollutants facts from lucknow metropolis bus stations in february 2021. Exposure to excessive noise ranges may want to motive serious damage to the noise and sensory-related machine. The noise stage is monitored in nahariya for 2 days with the help of sound strain (spl 1352). As these bus stations are placed inside the significant and internal bus station as they join lucknow to numerous neighboring regions so the noise produced right here could be very high. A excessive range of buses are used from those bus stations to cater for the demand. With the help of sound numerous sound parameters are calculated as l10, l90, l50, leq, nc, lnp and tni. For the purpose of proper studying and sound representation at the bus station. Leq price in nahariya levels from seventy seven.8-eighty four.4db. As loud noise at the bus station it reasons intellectual disturbance to passengers which desires to be taken into consideration whilst designing the bus depot and due care should be paid to reduce stress for passengers as the variety of buses increases so the noise level. As lucknow is still in the method of development it therefore identifies areas with a hot noise place and puts in place appropriate answers and strategies to manipulate the risk of noise pollution.
Besides growing levels of air and water pollution, road traffic induced noise pollution has been recognized as potential threat to feasible quality of life especially in the urban areas. The accelerated pace of economic development urbanization, and increased vehicular mobility has affected remotest location of India and the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand is no exception to it. The serenity and tranquility for which it’s acknowledged globally, is growingly affected by traffic induced noise pollution caused by inflating Pilgrimage/tourism industry, rampant road constructions, encroachment, traffic mismanagement etc. The peak pilgrimage season brings with it uncontrolled traffic influx in the region. All the major pilgrimage towns located on the national Highway from Rishikesh to Badrinath are affected by the vehicular Noise pollution and traffic congestion especially during the holy pilgrimage season. The study tries to evaluate the Noise pollution problem in one of the important towns of Uttarakhand ‘Srinagar ’located 105 kms upstream from Rishikesh, on NH-58. Heavy movement of traffic and illegitimate usage of horns is considered main cause of noise pollution in the town which grows irrationally during the yatra season. The average number of vehicular flow was observed to be 890 vehicles/day during the yatra season (May) as compared to 575 vehicles/day during the non yatra season(January). The the average noise intensity levels of the town was recorded to be 70dB and noise levels have reached at an alarming stage. It was observed that in 4/5 noise monitoring location, the noise intensity was above the prescribed noisestandard level of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), and Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS). The vulnerability to various noise induced health hazards was also very high in the area because the valve of R was 0.78.
Evaluation of Noise Pollution: A Case Study of Udaipur, Tripura, India

Assessment of noise pollution in Raipur city of Chhattisgarh, India
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ADVANCE RESEARCH, IDEAS AND INNOVATIONS IN TECHNOLOGY
In developing countries like India Assessment of Noise pollution is important task. Noise pollution adversely affects the health of human beings. The most important noises sources of noise are road traffic, aircraft, railways and industries, noise in the community from industrial and construction site and noise at home. Road traffic is by far the largest of these and accounts for about 78 per cent of noise annoyance. In India, vehicular traffic is increasing rapidly, which has given birth to overcrowded roads and noise pollution. This study is primarily focusing on the monitoring of noise pollution at different places in Raipur City. In this study, noise monitoring was carried out with the help of a sound level meter model (VA8080). Some important places of Raipur have been selected for noise level study purpose. All the places are categorized under different zones i.e. commercial zone, silent zone, industrial zone and residential zone. All data were collected between 07:00 am to 09:00 p.m. Every hour the noise levels have been measured. To make the noise level more accurate each reading were taken in a gap of 6 minutes, that is, 10 readings per hour. And the average of the readings was taken as per hour sound intensity level. The study period of the survey was 15 days. Therefore this study reveals that the noise levels are higher than the standard level for each zones.
