Abstract |
This research aims to design mathematical model to predict road traffic noise levels of Mount Abu city. Since, in 1972, WHO announced it as a type of pollution. The word "sound" and "noise" are two different parameters its not similar at all. When the limit of sound level reached above 70db, it comes in the category of noise. Above 80db it proves to be dangerous to human health including hearing loss and it is said to be noise which should be avoided. The present piece of work highlights the possibility of the prediction of the optimum condition for the analysis of traffic noise. This model is obtained by collecting the experimental data of roadways of different locations of Mount Abu City recorded by android based software which is pre-calibrated with digital sound meter instrument. By doing so, it reports the accuracy of Smartphone sound measurement applications (apps) and whether they can be appropriately employed for occupational noise measurements. This research is also important because it proves that noise level of Mount Abu city is less than as compared to other urban cities. |
