[sustran] Re: On Noise Pollution

[bhairavi]

Just as an information on Bombay, I have read somewhere that the prevailing noise level is 67-86 dBA in traffic congested areas; this noise obviously does not come from the high speeds of vehicles. It comes from honking, engines and clustering of all vehicles together in the traffic jams.

Subject: [niep] Study on Noise Pollution


Hello Friends,

I would like to have your valuable inputs on my studies related to noise pollution specifically because of vehicles.

While reading through most of the books and research papers (international Publications mainly) I was under impression that the vehicular noise pollution inceases with the increase in vehicle speed.

Now I have few points which are debatable:

1. If the case is as mentioned as above why do we design rosds for high vehicular speed.

2. Is it true incase of India where people use Horn frequently while moving in slow spped.

If anybody can help me with any reading material  or their views which will clear my thoughts i will be really obliged.

Sukhiya

JAI HIND.
