Abstract
The increase in number of urban highways constructed around residential and
community areas around the city, hasinevitably caused major noise pollution problems
to city dwellers. The objective of the studywas to assess the level ofnoise exposure and
its impact to residents residing around the vicinity of urbanhighways. Noise level
recording wascarried out at selected areas to determine the noise pollution levels and
the adequacy of mitigating measures that hasbeen implemented.
In simple terms, noise is unwanted sound. Sound is a form of energy which is
emitted by avibrating body and on reaching the ear causes the sensation of hearing
through nerves.Sounds produced by all vibrating bodies are not audible. The frequency
limits of audibilityare from 20 HZ to 20,000 HZ.
Basically, depending on the origin, defines two types of noise: noise from natural
sources and man-made noise sources. Natural sources of noise in natural phenomena
such as thunder, sound of strong wind, the sound of waterfalls and etc. Artifical sources
of noise are all man-made sources.
The purpose, of this master thesis is to assess the degree of exposure to noise
andits impact on residents living near major roads, to make measurements of noise in
the busiest city streets, and then analyze the data obtained and of course will be offered
appropriate measures for its control.
