Abstract:
The road traffic is one of the major sources of noise in urban areas. Due to dramatic increase in traffic, the noise levels have gone much beyond the acceptable limits in the big cities of Pakistan and apparently there is little concern about the noise nuisance to the city dwellers. In order, therefore, to have an assessment of the noise levels as a forerunner for adopting control measure, a survey of the traffic noise levels in Karachi city has been carried out. The measurements have been made at nine major traffic junctions in some of the busiest trade centres of the city. Various analyses of the data have been carried out, and the expected community response to the increasing noise level has been discussed with reference to some international criteria.
