“…The noise levels in the evening (mean = 80.2 dB) and at night (mean = 75.1 dB) emphasize even more how constant industrial activity is in Lagos. In contrast, comparable patterns were found in the study conducted in an industrialized city by Masum et al (2021), which demonstrated the continuance of noise pollution from industrial sources throughout the day.…”

This study examines the effects of noise pollution at various times of the day on residential, commercial, and industrial zones in Lagos, Nigeria. Different noise levels are shown by descriptive statistics; residential zones have moderate noise during the day, higher noise in the evening, and reduced noise at night. The noise levels in commercial and industrial zones are consistently greater, which highlights the difficulties that households experience. There is a discrepancy between measured and perceived noise levels, according to community perceptions impacted by cultural and local factors. In order to create a more sustainable and peaceful urban environment in Lagos, the study emphasizes the necessity of context-specific noise management techniques in urban planning and policy formulation.

“…Passenger-car parks and road junctions showed high noise levels, assumingly, because of the high density of vehicles and people. Road traffic seems to be the major source of noise pollution in Kigali, as found in other cities [ 34 ] where the average noise level increases with increased road network density and vehicles per km 2 [ 44 ]. Moreover, commercial land use, mostly with many streets for pedestrians and/or large shopping malls, often produces crowds of people and noisy entertainment, resulting in a high-noise environment [ 45 , 46 ].…”

“…For example, the European Commission published the Environmental Noise Directive, which recommends project-based methods to calculate, assess, and reduce traffic noise, including the E.U project [ 33 ]. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized noise pollution as an epidemiological concern and has set noise guidelines of 45 dB (A) for quiet areas, 55 dB (A) for residential areas, and 65 dB (A) for industrial areas [ 34 , 35 ]. While developed countries such as Australia, Japan, and the U.S. have set noise pollution standard levels [ 36 ].…”

“…To obtain a better vision for the planning or creation of policies and measures to mitigate noise pollution, noise maps are generally used to find areas with higher noise levels and estimate the number of people affected, as proposed in the following articles [11,12]. In both cases, measurements were taken using sound level meters (AR814 and Larson Davis's SoundTrack LxT, respectively) and global positioning systems (GPS) to position the study points in creating noise maps.…”

Noise pollution is a growing problem in urban areas, and it is important to study and evaluate its impact on human health and well-being. This work presents the design of a low-cost IoT model and implementation of two prototypes to collect noise level data in a specific area of the regional center of Chiriquí, at the Technological University of Panama that can be replicated to create a noise monitoring network. The prototypes were designed using Autodesk Fusion 360, and the data were stored in a MySQL database. Microsoft Excel and ArcGIS Pro were used to analyze the data, generate graphs, and display the information on maps. The results of the analysis can be used to develop strategies to reduce noise pollution and improve the quality of life in urban areas.
