 How To Measure Noise?
• A decibel is the standard for the measurement of
noise. The zero on a decibel scale is at the
threshold of hearing, the lowest sound pressure
that can be heard, on the scale acc. To smith, 20
db is whisper, 40 db the noise in a quiet office .
60 db is normal conversation, 80 db is the level
at which sound becomes physically painful.
• The Noise quantum of some of the cities in our
country indicate their pitch in decibel in the
nosiest areas of corresponding cities, e.g. Delhi-
80 db, Kolkata - 87,Bombay-85, Chennai-89 db
etc.

 Impact Of Noise Pollution

• Fundamental Duties
 Regulatory Environment
• The Factories Act, 1948: Surprisingly, no
industrial law provides any protection to workers
from noise pollution. Section 11 (I) of the Act
stipulates that every factory shall be kept clean,
without having any nuisance; the word 'nuisance'
may include noise, but statutory provisions in
industrial law to provide this protection
specifically are overdue. It is also noteworthy
that under section 35 of the Act, protection is
given for the eyes of an employee but no such
protection is provided to ears.
 Regulatory Environment
• Motor Vehicles: Vehicles are among the chief noise
producers in modern times. The Motor Vehicles Act,
1988 through sections 20, 21 (j), 41, 68, 68 I, 70, 91 and
111 empowers a state government to frame rules for the
upkeep of motor vehicles and control of noise produced
by them. If the provisions of the Act were even half
implemented, noise in urban areas would reduce
considerably. But the Motor Vehicles Rules made by
states do not contain any effective control measures to
control noise pollution except a meager control of horns
and silencers of the motor vehicles.
 Regulatory Environment
• The Aircrafts Act, 1934: The Central Government has
the power to make rules for manufacture, possession,
use, operation, sale, import or export any aircraft, as well
as the regulation of air transport services. The Act has
many provisions but none for the control of noise. In this
regard it is suggested that aerodromes be constructed
far away from the residential areas of a city in order to
protect residents from the noise created by frequent
take-offs and landings. But three of India’s busiest
airports are located close to residential localities
The Noise Regulation Rules 2000
• No permission can be granted by any authority for use of public address system in
the open after 10.00 PM and before 6.00 AM. No exception is possible. Any person or
organization making noise on amplified system after 10.00 pm is violation of the law
and the person can be prosecuted under the provisions of the EPA 1986. Only
District Magistrates can grant permissions after 10.00 PM for functions within closed
premises. District Magistrates cannot grant permission for use of any amplified public
address system after 10.00 PM.
• After permission has been procured the sound must fall within the sound limits
prescribed in the Noise Rules. This can be measured on a sound meter. Any person
violating the Rules is liable to be arrested under the stringent provisions of the EPA.
• If the authorities do not act to stop violation of the Noise Rules, the citizen who has
filed a complaint can approach the Court with his complaint after 60 days' notice and
the Court can initiate prosecution.
• The rules also fix different ambient air quality levels for firecrackers and industrial
activities.
• The rules are silent on noise from vehicles, which is regulated by the Motor Vehicles
Act 1988 (although the prohibition against the use of multi-toned horns is hardly
enforced). Police and ambulance sirens are still used in ordinary transport vehicles as
horns, and mufflers are disengaged or absent even in Euro-I certified vehicles
 Noise Control at Source
• Reducing the noise levels from domestic sectors
• Maintenance of automobiles.
• Control over vibrations
• Low voice speaking
• Prohibition on usage of loud speakers
• Selection of machinery
• Maintenance of machines
