4.0 Conclusions
The study has shown that the monitored community noise
pollution in selected residential and school area (Blue Boy
Mansion LaSalle Secondary School) highly exceeded the
level recommended by the World Health Organization for
residential and school areas and highly fluctuated over
time. The monitored noise level in terms of Leq in the
residential area ranged between 52.1dB(A) to 72.7dB(A)
during day and night time and in the school area ranged
between to 68.2 dB(A) to 73.7 dB(A) during school hours.
These noise levels have exceeded the WHO recommended
level 100% of the measured time. Such monitored noise
levels can cause sleep disturbance, interfere with speech
and may affect students and teachers’ performance as they
interfere with speech communication and message
extraction, which are the main mechanisms of teaching.
Thus, community noise pollution is a serious environmental
problem at residential and school compounds within the
study area. To abate noise problem, a proper use of
vegetation and noise barrier are highly recommended.
These should be supported by the enforcement of laws
and regulations in order to create a conducive environment
for residents, students, teachers and community at large.
