Abstract: The results of analysis of noise pollution levels measured during February 2007,
in different parts of Saharanpur City situated in Western Uttar Pradesh are recorded. The
noise pollution levels, more than the recommended permissible limits have been observed
in areas of Nehru market, Delhi road, Ambala road, Dehradun road, and Clock tower. There
are numerous effects on the human environment due to the increase in noise pollution. The
increasing rate of noise pollution is causing adverse impacts on human health such as
insomnia, hearing loss, reducing efficiency, sexual impotency, cardiovascular, respiratory
and neurological damages and shortening the period of human life. The implementation of
noise pollution control strategy has been suggested by adopting appropriate measures on
affected noise pollution sites.
