description Transportation sector is one of the major contributors to noise in urban areas. Hence, as a first step towards assessment of noise pollution, measurement was taken up with emphasis on traffic noise. During the course of study ten heavy to medium busy commercial corridors were selected for monitoring of vehicular traffic activities and ambient noise levels as well. Sound Level Meter (SLM) SC-30 with a calibration source was used for measurement of equivalent noise levels.The results indicates that the noise levels were higher than the limits prescribed by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), It directly highlighted the necessity of effective mitigation measures of noise pollution levels in the city.
