“…Nearness of market to residential areas suggests increase in economic activities in most urban neighbourhood. Significance of market proximity further corroborates the finding of Ogunseye et al [22] as areas prone to market activities is associated with higher noise level. In promoting a conducive urban environment, strategies towards urban planning and regulations are essential in a bid to relief the residents from environmental stress.…”

Noise has an environmental challenge is increasing due to urbanization, industrialization and modernization. While residential noise pollution could have adverse effect on health and social wellbeing, little attention has been directed towards investigating the implications of spatial pattern of neighbourhood facilities on noise pollution in Nigeria. This study assessed how noise disturbance is related to spatial pattern within two neighbourhoods in Benin City, Nigeria. Structured questionnaires were used to elicit information from residents on demographics and neighbourhood characteristics while residential land-mix was observed through street mapping. Sixty-six participants were randomly selected from Government Reserved Area (GRA) and Ogbe quarters of Benin City. Result showed that the neighbourhood facilities which host commercial, transportation and industrial activities were the closest to the dwelling units while natural vegetation was the farthest. Also there was spatial variation in distribution of neighbourhood features especially the commercial and recreational areas which affects the noise exposure level. The study concludes that it is necessary to mitigate noise within residential neighbourhoods through proper land use and zoning strategies.

“…Niemann and Maschke (2004) reported that road traffic noise is one of the leading causes of sleep disruption among city dwellers. Also, Ogunseye et al [2] reported that, even a relatively low level of noise causes sleep disturbance, hypertension, and hinder cognitive development among children.…”

“…The effects of traffic noise on human health and wellbeing are categorized into four depending on the period and volume which an individual is exposed to including physical, such as hearing defects; physiological, such as increased blood pressure, irregularity of heart rhythms and ulcers [2]; psychological, such as disorders, sleeplessness and going to sleep late, irritability and stress [3]; and effects on work performance, such as reduction of productivity and misunderstanding what is heard (Vibhav et al, 2018). Road traffic noise has in recent times become a global issue.…”

“…Similarly, Dasarathy et al [14] reported that even a relatively low level of noise adversely affects human health. For instance, it causes hypertension, disturb sleep, and hinder cognitive development in children [2]. The effects of excessive noise exposure could be so severe to the extent that either a permanent loss of memory or a psychiatric disorder might occur [15].…”

This paper investigated the significant human and environmental consequences of traffic noise in Jos, Nigeria. Subjective noise responses data of the respondents exposed to road traffic noise was collected using a structured questionnaire. A total of 1,135 copies of the questionnaire representing 0.5% of the total household heads in Jos metropolis were administered during the field survey. The questionnaire was self-administered and with the help of field assistants at random to the respondents. The questionnaire contained some opinion questions on the effects and consequences of traffic noise on human and environment. Five medical doctors in some of the public and private hospitals in Jos metropolis were interviewed to obtain their expert's views on the effects and consequences of road traffic on human health and wellbeing using Key Informant Interview (KII) guide. The data obtained was analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analyses. The findings revealed that, there was a significant and positive relationship between road traffic noise and human and environmental consequences in Jos (r=0.556, p< 0.05). It further revealed that hypertension, hearing impairment and CVD cases were highly prevalent in Jos. This paper, therefore, recommends among others planting of trees, shrubs and vegetations along the roadways to serve as buffer (barrier) against road traffic noise pollution being emanated by the moving vehicles thereby mitigating the impact of noise pollution on the affected residents.

Environmental noise pollution lowers the quality of life and is a public health concern in residential areas. In Minna, Nigeria, the effects of exposure to noise pollution on inhabitants' health and well-being were examined in this study. The indicated maximum limits for tolerable noise levels for quality of life in a home context were exceeded by the noise data measured using a sound level meter, a hand-held geographic positioning system, and a structured questionnaire (N = 880). The study recommended the design of noise-absorbing buildings, improved urban and infrastructure planning, and noise-regulating measures for a considerable increase in the quality of life of people.
