Noise Monitoring During Ganesh Chaturthi, Dussehra, and Diwali Festival for Raipur City, India
The assessment of noise pollution is very essential in developing countries like India. This study’s main objective is to assess the level of noise pollution during the Ganesh Chaturthi, Dussehra, and Diwali festivals at various locations in Raipur City. Ten places from the commercial, residential, and silent zones were chosen for this investigation. Noise monitoring was carried out with a sound level meter, the Extech SL 400 at selected locations in the city on the pre-, during-, and post-festival days. All locations of commercial areas recorded average noise equivalent levels higher than 75 dB at all festivals and the maximum noise level was recorded 80.16 dB at Purani Basti location. In the residential area, noise level varies between 70 and 78 dB and the silent area reading varies between 66 and 73 dB at all festivals. The study revealed that the main cause of the rise in noise level was found to be heavy traffic movement due to festivals and the bursting of crackers.
