Noise Pollution Monitoring In Kalaburgi City

Abstract

Traffic noise is now a major issue for city dwellers, leading to a host of health issues. To take this characteristic into consideration, measurements of noise characteristics are crucial, since it is very time dependent. Special consideration should be given to areas like bus stands, business districts, residential areas, and hospitals. People in the older age groups tend to experience greater levels of stress and poor sleep quality, which increases their risk. Due to its proximity to metropolitan areas, noise pollution in sensitive zones has also been on the rise, making it all the more important to regulate this issue. The purpose of this research was to determine the current state of noise pollution. Sound levels in Kalaburagi city were found to be 70 dB to 110 dB, which is about double the allowable limit, according to the study. Daytime levels of noise reached 118 dB, while nighttime levels dropped to 20.52 dB. A better domain requires noise management in sensitive zones, according to the review article.
