Ahmedabad: In cities like Ahmedabad, there are Din Mannipresent – from vehicles, construction work, or hoarse events in party plots.
This soundscape is hell for anyone trying to read peacefully, or try to talk by telephone, or make a desperate effort to sleep.
Most of us think that city scream anger is the nature of urban animals and we are accustomed to.
But the research team has found in its social-acoustic survey that city noise affects people in such a way that some are willing to pay mitigation.
A comprehensive study to measure the level of noise disorders in the city was carried out by researchers from the University of Indus, Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU), and the Gujarat power research institute.
This study surveyed nearly 400 people in the city to measure how they were influenced by the noise level.
TimesViewThere is the body of evidence that is developing today to prove that noise affects our productivity.
A city company like AhMedabad can help reduce this by implementing zoning control and other land use policies to limit or avoid closeness with noisy spots.
Other steps can include upholding noise standards for machines and hardware and even limit their use, depending on location or time to protect the health and sleep of its citizens.
Regional regulations can limit the ownership of hard events, appoint a no-horn zone, regulate the use of a beeper back-up and implement the rules to control the speed of the vehicle on certain roads in the city.
I was the time that Amdavadis took a critical view of the noise pollution that was not visible and took steps to curb him for the welfare of everyone in the city.
The survey revealed that only 14% of people were reluctant to pay steps to thin out noise pollution.
The remaining 86% fell into two categories – “Willing” (40%) and “Not sure” (46%).
“There is a lot of evidence of evidence that noise is more than a disturbance.
The persistent exposure to noise can cause chronic health problems,” said Dr.
Anurag Kandya, Associate Professor from PDEU.
“Communities that are marginalized are mostly affected because they often live close to unwanted noise sources.” Field investigations have revealed that the sound level reaches 83 decibel (DB).
Background noise ranges from 65 dB and 75 db, equivalent to hearing a hair dryer or cleaning vacuum cleaner.
While throwing light on noiseescape the city, this study revealed that the most dominant sound pollution ranged from 72 dB and 73 dB which included 23% of the total investigation area of 101 kil square kilometers.
Then the range of 73-74 dB appears, blasting 20% of the area investigated.
About 14% of the area investigated has an average sound rate above 77 dB.
Overall, research has revealed that at 88% of the 123 locations surveyed, the noise level reached a range of 69-80 dB, much higher than the level of 45-55 dB which was acceptable.
