Introduction<\/span>: Noise pollution is one of the major environmental problems in urban areas.\u00a0<\/span>It is mainly caused by traffic, vehicle horns, construction activities, and industrial operations.<\/span>\u00a0Excessive noise can negatively\u00a0<\/span>affect human health, causing stress, sleep disturbances, and reduced concentration. Understanding people\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>perception<\/span>\u00a0of noise pollution helps\u00a0<\/span>identify<\/span>\u00a0its impact on daily life and community well-being.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Objective:\u00a0<\/span>To examine the level of noise po<\/span>llution experience by people in their residential areas. Analyze how traffic noise affects people\u2019s daily comfort and sleep. Understand the disturbance<\/span>\u00a0caused by vehicle horns and traffic sounds and\u00a0<\/span>To<\/span>\u00a0evaluate the overall\u00a0<\/span>perception<\/span>\u00a0of noise pollution among respondents.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Literature Review:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Noise pollution is a significant environmental issue in various urban cities due to the increasing rate of urbanization and traffic flow. According to\u00a0<\/span>various studies<\/span>, it is identified that<\/span>\u00a0exposure to\u00a0<\/span>high levels<\/span>\u00a0of noise may result in health issues. The researchers have\u00a0<\/span>identified<\/span>\u00a0that traffic noise is one of the major causes of environmental noise pollution.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to\u00a0<\/span>previous<\/span>\u00a0studies, it is\u00a0<\/span>identified<\/span>\u00a0that the use of vehicle horns and movement of vehicles\u00a0<\/span>result<\/span>\u00a0in disturbing the peace of mind of the public. According to various environmental studies, it is\u00a0<\/span>identified<\/span>\u00a0that the public living in such areas face more annoyance. Hence, through surveys\u00a0<\/span>regarding<\/span>\u00a0public\u00a0<\/span>perception<\/span>, the level of noise pollution can be\u00a0<\/span>identified<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Data collection:\u00a0<\/span>For our problem we have\u00a0<\/span>choosen<\/span>\u00a0the topic \u201cnoise pollution<\/span>\u201d.<\/span>\u00a0We have framed 5 questions to be asked on\u00a0<\/span>Likert<\/span>\u00a0scale.\u00a0<\/span>Google\u00a0 form<\/span>\u00a0was framed with\u00a0<\/span>linear<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>option<\/span>. 1<\/span>\u00a0as<\/span>\u00a0strongly disagree and 5 as strongly agree for each\u00a0<\/span>que<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>The google form was personally shared with our classmates,\u00a0<\/span>collegues<\/span>, family,\u00a0<\/span>friends<\/span>\u00a0and relatives in confidence after surveying 100\u00a0<\/span>people,<\/span>\u00a0responses were downloaded in excel sheet. For each\u00a0<\/span>question<\/span>\u00a0Mean, Standard Deviation, Standard\u00a0<\/span>Error<\/span>\u00a0and T stat were calculated.
