Abstract

The purpose of this research was to assess the extent of noise pollution in different areas of Pabna District Town. The land usage of Pabna District Town dictated the selection of 6 zones and 32 sites. Beginning on January 1, 2021, and ending on April 30, 2021, the town of Pabna had its noise levels measured using a REED SD-4023 sound level meter. Multiple samples were taken from each sampling site. The noise level was checked three times daily in all locations. According to the study, Pabna District Town had a mean noise level of 75.14 dBA and a Leq of 97.83 dBA. The highest mean noise level was found in Bus Stand Goli (86.18 dBA), whereas the lowest mean noise level was found in Square Pharmaceuticals (57.01 dBA). In addition, the hierarchy in various land uses based on mean noise level was Residential Area (84.11 dBA) > Mixed Areas (77.83 dBA) > Commercial Area (75.16 dBA) > Silent Area (73.90 dBA) > Road Intersection (72.88 dBA) > Industrial Area (66.95 dBA). Nevertheless, the study discovered that the noise level at every sample location was higher than the national standard.
