Environmental noise has emerged as a serious problem globally. The alarming increase in vehicular population and excessive use of horns in some countries have become a nuisance for society, causing serious annoyance within. The complex and pervasive problem of noise pollution has no single solution, rather it requires a combination of short-, medium- and long-term approaches and careful consideration of the nature of the noise source. There are many sources of noise pollution, each requiring tailored abatement measures. Roadway noise and aircraft noise are the most pervasive sources of environmental noise. The main areas of environmental noise mitigation or abatement are: transportation noise control, architectural design, use of passive control measures and urban planning. The present book is written with an objective of presenting the various aspects of noise control particularly in Indian perspectives. A long list of references, elaborate discussion of various noise sources, recommendations on noise polices and noise action plans are the strong features of this book. It is envisaged that the present book shall be very helpful for the practising engineers, researchers, university faculty, students, town planners and pollution control boards as a reference book for environmental noise control.
