An Alternative System for Removing Vehicle-Generated Noise in the City of Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Abstract

There is a serious problem with noise pollution in most cities around the world. In its simplest form, noise can be described as unwanted sound. In addition to the noise that emanates from our workplace, environmental noise also encompasses all unwanted sounds that occur in our communities. Dhaka is plagued by noise pollution, which is a major contributor to the pollution of the environment. A significant amount of noise is present throughout the city at levels far exceeding the levels considered safe for hearing and health. The health effects of excessive noise are constantly aggravating and dangerous. Noise pollution is one of the most significant problems facing an affluent population. Noise pollution is a problem everywhere in these cities. The streets are filled with excessive noise pollution, wherever you walk or take public transport. It is possible to extend the problem to silence such as schools/colleges/universities or hospitals, where students or patients do not speak. This project has designed and developed necessary and urgent solutions to reduce its unhealthy and harmful effects on the human body. This solution addresses the problem from two different angles within the developing area. Raise awareness among the general public to encourage changes by measuring and displaying loud noise levels to reduce noise in quiet and create a system to regulate and reduce the use of honkers by drivers.
