Noise Pollution: Impact and Mitigation Measures

This lecture covers the impact of noise pollution on different environments, including road, railway, trade, and aerodrome noise. It discusses the legal framework for noise limit values, noise sensitivity levels, and noise distribution in environmental impact studies. The lecture also explores noise assessment methodologies, noise sources, and noise reduction measures, such as noise barriers and sound confinements. Additionally, it delves into the modeling of noise emissions, noise immission values, and the prioritization of noise protection measures based on economic feasibility and technical viability.
