Noise PollutionDefinition• “Noise is define as any undesirable human or
machine created noise which disturbs the activity orbalance of human or animal life”.

Terminology used in noise pollution
• Frequency: Frequency is the no of cyclesrepeated in unit time duration. Its unit iscycle/sec or Hz ( 1 Hz= 1 Cycle /sec)
• Intensity: Amount of sound energy received /sec is known as intensity of sound. Its Unit isdecibel ( dB).

• Decibel: Decibel is define as the logarithm tothe base 10 to ratio of two intensities
Lt=10 log 10 (I/I0) dBWhere, I= Measured IntensityI0= Reference IntensityLt= Level of noise in dB

What is Noise?• In simple terms, noise is unwanted sound. Sound is a form
of energy which is emitted by a vibrating body and onreaching the ear causes the sensation of hearing throughnerves.
• Sounds produced by all vibrating bodies are not audible.The frequency limits of audibility are from 20 HZ to20,000 HZ.
• A noise problem generally consists of three inter-relatedelements- the source, the receiver and the transmissionpath. This transmission path is usually the atmospherethrough which the sound is propagated, but can includethe structural materials of any building containing thereceiver

The Sound of Human Speech is mainly in the range of 300 to 3000 Hz

Mechanism of Hearing• The Science of Human hearing and sound is called human
acoustics. Sound waves set vibration in the ear drum which ismade up of membrane In the upper ear. The vibration in the Eardrum induces movement of three small soft bones in the middle earbehind the ear drum.
• The movement of the soft bones pass through viscous fluid in theinner ear creating oscillation of Fluid. These oscillation thenreaches the auditory nerves and finally transmitted to the brain.
• The oscillation or sound are identified and interpreted in the brain,which has capacity to analyze sound into different frequency.
• Human detectable frequency range is 20 to 20000 Hz.• Sensitivity of the Ear varies from person to person, with aging
hearing power decreases. The ear is susceptible to damage if itreceives high intensity noise.

Measurement of Noise ( Sound)• The Intensity of Sound is measured in terms of
Sound pressure Level and common unit is decibel• Decibel (dB) = 10 log 10 (I/I0)• Thus dB measures how much intense is the
sound as compared to reference intensity• The Sound pressure level ( SPL) in dB is Def n as• SPL= 20 log 10 (P/P0)• Where,• P= Measured pressure• Po= reference pressure ( 2 x 10 -5 N/m2)

• Noise Level in Decibel is measured with aninstrument called sound level meter. It consists of3 internationally accepted weighing network
• The weighing networks are electronic filtercircuits build into the meter to weaken certainfrequency. They permit the sound level meter torespond more to some frequency than to otherswith prejudice something like human ears
• There are 3 weighing scales• A weighing scale- Severely filters the frequency• B weighing scale- Moderately filters the
frequency• C weighing Scale- Hardly filters frequency
![Page 13: Noise Pollution · 2020. 3. 29. · Effects of Noise pollution •Noise can do Physiological and or / Psychological damage if the volume is high or if exposure is prolonged. •Common](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071002/5fbea64a9bffff323300c2be/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A weighing Scale (dB A)• The sensitivity of human ears depends on the
frequency or pitch of the sound. We hear somefrequency better than others. e.g. If a person hears twosounds of same sound pressure but different intensityone sound may appear louder than the other. Thishappens when we hear high frequency much betterthan lower frequency noise.
• An A-weighing filter, adjusts the measured sound levelto correspond to this peculiarity of human hearing. Itfilter out low frequency or pitches.

• Hearing loss• Masking: Masking is the inability to hear
important environmental clues andanimal signals
• Physiological effects: such as increase inheart rate, respiratory difficulties andstress.
• Behavioral effects:-Which could result inabandonment of territory and loss ofability to reproduce.
• Ecological effects: It leads to migration ofbirds which disturbs the ecosystem

Control of Noise Pollution• Noise is not only a nuisance but a
serious environmental problem anda health hazard. Like all otherpollution, noise pollution is neededto be controlled.
• Noise pollution can be effectivelycontrolled by taking followingmeasures.

Control of Noise PollutionControl at receivers end
For people working in noisy areas ear protection aids likeear plugs, muffs, noise helmets, head phones etc should beprovided it reduces occupational exposure.
Controlling at sourceThis is only possible if working method is improved.Design new machines to replace noisy ones. Properlubrication and better, maintenance of machines. Installingnoisy machines with sound absorbing materials. UsingSilencer to control noise from automobiles etc.

Zoning Increased distance between source and receiver by zoning of
noisy industrial areas like bus stand and railway stationsaway from silence zones near residential areas, educationalinstitutions and hospitals.
Sound Insulation A) Sound insulations can be done by constructing windows
with more than one panes of glass and filling the gap withsound absorbing material.
B) Acoustical tiles, perforated plywood can be fixed on wall,ceilings, floors to reduce noise.

Control of Noise PollutionPlanting of Trees
Planting of trees and shrubs along roads, hospitals,educational institutions help in noise reduction to aconsiderable extent.
Legislative measures Strict legislative measures need to be enforced to control
the nuisance of noise pollution some of the measures areA) Minimum use of loud speakers, near silence zones.B) Banning Pressure horns in automobilesC) Framing a separate noise pollution act.
