Harmful effects and monitoring of noise

Abstract

High noise levels can contribute to different health problems. This paper shows the results of monitoring of noise in urban enviroment. Fonometer has been used for measuring. The measurements were made on five different places. The measurements were made at day, dusk and at night. Five measurements were made at each site. The results shows that the noise level at certain sites is higher than allowed (by 20 dB). In order to minimize noise level some counter measures has to be done.
