Noise is unwanted sound which is generally unpleasant to hear and affect human beings physically, mentally and physiologically. The study analyzed the noise pollution level at four location of New Delhi, selecting one location in each zone i.e., residential, commercial, industrial and silent. The analytical results show that the highest noise level was 81.5 dB at Okhla industrial area and lowest was 67 dB at Moti Bagh. Comparison of noise level with regulatory standards reveals that the noise levels at all the selected locations has been 25dB more than the prescribed standard given by central pollution control board in day time. Furthermore, it has also shows that the all monitoring locations have been continuously under severe noise exposure. The findings of this study show that there is extreme requirement of remedial measures to curb noise level.
