Noise pollution, as a major environmental problem, is present in Banja Luka. The measured values exceeded the level of noise allowed, which is a great problem. Evaluation of the noise levels was carried out in the streets in the area with health institutions. Objectives of this research were to evaluate the environmental noise pollution in the City of Banja Luka due to traffic noise and to compare the measured noise levels in the city with legislation and to establish the connection between noise and the number of vehicles. Correlation between the noise level and number of vehicles was positive and significant during the study period (r=0.89). It is confirmed that, with the increase of the number of vehicle, the noise level increases, i.e. the decrease in the number of vehicle decreases the noise level.

Traffic in urban areas has led to environmental noise pollution. However, traffic is not only source of noise, so environmental noise is referred to as a communal noise, which is combination of several sources. All sources may lead to consequences on human health such as: stress, tinnitus, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and death in extreme cases. In this regard, ambient sound levels were measured at 19 locations in the city of Belgrade, during the winter and summer period. The aim of this paper is to show ambient sounds level as an indicator of urban road safety, based on which it would be possible to complete the goals of creating cities suitable for the life of citizens.

The noise from means of transport is one of the main factors of environmental noise pollution and is one of the factors having an effect on human health. The article presents the problem of noise emitted by urban means of transport. The work focuses on analysis of the acoustic climate in the bus stop zone. In order to estimate the noise level, research was conducted in selected points in one of the Polish cities - Radom. The obtained results allowed assessment of the impact of transport on the noise level in the area of selected bus stops.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo principal analisar a emissão de ruídos ambientais na Avenida Ministro João Alberto, na cidade de Barra do Garças-MT, sendo a coleta de dados para a avaliação acústica realizada no dia três de fevereiro de 2015, das 07h00min às 19h00min, totalizando uma medição diária de doze horas seguidas dentro do perímetro urbano. Os dados foram coletados de forma simultânea e sem interrupção, diagnosticando, assim, grandezas acústicas. Como resultado, percebeu-se que o veículo automotor caminhão guincho apresentou o maior nível de ruído, registrando aproximadamente 98,0 decibéis, seguido, nessa ordem, pelos seguintes veículos automotores: caminhão, carreta, ônibus, motocicleta, carro de passeio e caminhonete, este último apresentando-se como a menor fonte emissora de ruído, com registro aproximado de 89,0 decibéis. Constatou-se que os valores confirmados dos níveis de ruídos registrados na observação diária ultrapassaram o nível permitido por lei. Assim, os níveis de pressão sonora identificados nos pontos de coleta de dados, por estarem todos acima dos valores toleráveis, geram riscos de perda auditiva em trabalhadores que atuem e permaneçam nesses locais.Palavras-chave: Ruído Ambiental; Decibéis dB(A); Diagnóstico; Poluição Sonora.NOISE IN THE AVENUE MINISTER JOÃO ALBERTO IN THE CITY OF BARRA DO GARÇAS-MTABSTRACTThis study was meant to examine the emission of environmental noise on Avenida Minister João Alberto, in the town of Barra do Garças- MT, and data collection for the acoustic evaluation held on February 3, 2015, from 07:00 to 19h00min, totaling a daily measurement twelve hours straight within the city limits. Data were collected simultaneously and without interruption, diagnosing thus acoustic quantities. As a result, it was noticed that the motor vehicle tow truck had the highest noise level, registering approximately 98.0 decibels, followed, in that order, the following motor vehicles: truck, trailer, bus, motorcycle, passenger car and truck, the latter presenting itself as the lowest emission source of noise, with an approximate record of 89.0 decibels. It was found that the figures confirmed the noise levels recorded in the daily observation exceeded the level allowed by law. Thus, the sound pressure levels identified in the data collection points, because they are all above tolerable values, generate hearing loss risk in workers that operate and remain in those locations.Keywords: Environmental Noise; Decibels dB(A); Diagnosis; Noise Pollution. CONTAMINACIÓN ACÚSTICA EN LA AVENIDA MINISTRO JOÃO ALBERTO EN LA CIUDAD DE BARRA DO GARÇAS-MTRESUMENEste estudio estaba destinado a examinar la cuestión del ruido ambiental en Ministro Avenida João Alberto, en la población de Barra do Garças - MT, y la recogida de datos para la evaluación acústica celebrada el 3 de febrero de 2015, de 07:00 a 19h00min, por un total de unos diarios de medición doce horas seguidas dentro de los límites de la ciudad. Los datos fueron obtenidos de forma simultánea y sin interrupción, para diagnosticar grandiosidades acústicas. Como resultado, se ha dado cuenta de que el vehículo de motor camión de remolque tenía el nivel de ruido más alto, registrando aproximadamente 98,0 decibelios, seguida, por este orden, los siguientes vehículos de motor: camiones de remolques, autobuses, motocicletas, automóviles de pasajeros y camiones, este último se presenta como la fuente de emisión más baja de ruido, con un registro aproximado de 89,0 decibelios. Se encontró que las cifras confirman los niveles acústicos registrados en la observación diaria superaron el nivel permitido por la ley. Por lo tanto, los niveles de presión sonora identificados en los puntos de recogida de datos, ya que son todos por encima de los valores tolerables, generan riesgo de pérdida de audición de trabajadores que operan y permanecen en esos lugares.Palabras-clave: Ruido Ambiental; Decibeles dB(A); El Diagnóstico; La Contaminación Acústica.

This paper presents the results obtained in a study on environmental noise pollution in the city of Curitiba, Brazil. The equivalent sound level values - LA,eq,2hr - were measured and tabulated for 1000 locations spread over the urban zones of the city of Curitiba. It was found that 93.3% out of the locations display, during the day, equivalent sound levels over 65 dB(A), and 40.3% out of the locations measured display during the day extremely high values of equivalent sound levels: over 75 dB(A). Measurement points were evaluated according to the assumptions established by two types of legislation: 1) local legislation: Law 8583 of 1995, which deals with urban noise and public comfort; 2) international legislation: the criteria of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development - HUD.

AbstractThe present study is intended to get to know the levels of perimeter diurnal environmental noise of four hospitals in the city of Lima. The measurement mode used at each hospital was A-weighting, with an integration time of five minutes per recording. It was measured in the FAST mode with calibrations made at the beginning and end of the measurement day. Statistical analysis consisted of the mean comparison T test which was applied at all the hospitals considered in the study. At the four hospitals, at all the hours of measurement and both on working days and non-working days (Sunday), LAeq mean values are higher than 83 dBA. On working days, two periods of maximum noise from 08:00 to 10:00 in the morning and from 17:00 to 19:00 in the afternoon coincide with the start and end of working hours. The perimeter diurnal environmental noise levels determined at the vicinity of four hospitals show higher values in all cases to those established by the Peruvian National Environmental Standards for Noise for special protection areas both for working days and for non-working days. Noise that comes from the dense and disorganized traffic of Lima plays a fundamental role in this behaviour.

The pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) led to the need for drastic control measures around the world to reduce the impact on the health of the population. The confinement of people in their homes resulted in a significant reduction in human activity at every level (economic, social, industrial, etc.), which was reflected in a decrease in environmental pollution levels. Studying the evolution of parameters, such as the level of environmental noise caused by vehicle traffic in urban environments, makes it possible to assess the impact of this type of measure. This paper presents a case study of the acoustic situation in Cáceres (Spain) during the restriction period by means of long-term acoustic measurements at various points of the city.
