Abstract

Environmental noise pollution has become a significant concern in rapidly urbanizing cities due to increasing traffic, industrialization, and population growth. The present study aims to assess ambient noise levels in different zones of Raipur, India, including commercial, residential, industrial, and silence zones. Noise measurements were conducted at 25 selected locations during daytime and nighttime using a calibrated sound level meter.

The equivalent continuous noise level (Leq) was computed to evaluate the overall noise exposure, and the results were compared with standards prescribed by the Central Pollution Control Board. The findings reveal that industrial zones recorded the highest noise levels (Leq ≈ 85 dB), followed by commercial zones (≈ 80 dB), while residential and silence zones also exceeded permissible limits.
