Abstract

Road transportation plays a major role in the economic and social development of a country. With the increase in vehicle population, noise levels will increase. This paper discusses the results of a study undertaken to assess the noise levels at the major traffic junctions of an urban city. The noise equivalent level L eq was measured in the community areas as well as at the traffic junctions. The statistical levels L10, L50, L90 were also measured to determine the Traffic Noise Index at the junctions. A holistic approach was adopted to study the impact of noise on the community and at the work place of an industry.
