摘要
Noise is one of the most significant sources of environmental pollution in metro cities. Traffic noise plays an important role to contribute to ambient noise pollution. Noise pollution monitoring was carried out using sound level meter mounted on the cycle with the help of mould fixed on it. Cycle is a noiseless mode of transport and therefore, it was used for noise monitoring over 700 locations in Nagpur City. Noise levels were recorded at each location for 5 min during peak rush hours of traffic in the morning and in the evening at an interval of 1 s leading to around 300 readings each. Noise indices like L-eq, L-90, L-10, L-max and L-min were calculated for noise level data analysis. TNI was also determined for analysis of traffic noise on intersections of roads. Equivalent noise levels were transferred into the Geographic Information System (GIS) and spatial analysis tool was used to create spatial and strategic noise maps. Based on the maps, it is revealed that noise levels are exceeded all over the city with respect to ambient noise standards. It was experienced that intersections of roads during peak rush time are very noisy due to honking. The study recommends the noise monitoring through cycle-mounted sound level meter since it covers unapproachable sites, more coverage in the city that helps in identifying hotspot area of concern for noise abatement strategies and planning.
