ABSTRACT
India’s cities are growing rapidly, resulting in wide variety of environmental
stresses. Delhi’s current population is 18 million is growing rapidly. The
results show that Delhi is developing very rapidly. The study shows that a
122% increase in highly dense area was recorded during last decade in Delhi.
The pollution load has increased in terms of air, water, noise, and solid waste
generation and disposal, etc. One of the many environmental problems faced is
related to noise pollution. Many important places like Hospitals and
Residential areas have been to be made Noise free. In most of the surveys
conducted by relative Departments and Organizations, Noise levels vary in all
three axis and are being represented graphically by Noise Map. In order to
assess not only the noise levels, to which the population is exposed, but also to
quantify the influence of architectonical aspects, the report presents the steps
taken towards a simulation of the noise emissions and propagation in this
area. The results of the simulation are compared to measurements in different
locations and daily-hours. The discrepancies are analyzed and the
methodology is discussed. Efforts were made to implement Guide Lines
Prescribed by Indian Standards. Design of noise barriers is also briefly
discussed.
