Abstract
The noise levels of Ambur town were studied in silence, residential, commercial and industrial zones. Noise levels were assessed in 22 locations in a typical peak and non-peak hours of a day. In non-peak hours, a gradual decrease in noise levels is detected. The results show that the noise pollution in the city is widespread throughout most of its area. The noise in these areas is composite in nature and generated from many sources near and far with no particular sound predominance. Based on the results, some remedial measures were suggested. Public participation, education, traffic management, structural designing play a major role in noise management.
