Abstract
In this paper, an attempt has been made to study noise levels in different residential areas of Jharsuguda town in western Orissa (India). Minimum, maximum, L10, L50 and L90 noise levels have been computed. It was found that noise levels in the residential areas exceed the standards set by the Central Pollution Control Board, India. Vehicular traffic, with air horns of loud noise, was found to be the main reason for these high noise levels. Strict measures need to be taken to reduce and control the noise pollution.
