Abstract

Noise is the defined as undesirable and unwanted sound at wrong time. The noise is not noticeable they are harms to human beings so it's like a sweet poison. The main problems of noise at intersection is the vehicular traffic, are gathered and the diverted to different locations from their so its increase traffic volume and community caused noise pollution and problem to human being near to this zone. Engine exhaust system, unmannerly parking on the side of the roads is plays a major roll on noise pollutions. The objective of this work is (a) to measure the noise level along major intersection in Gorakhpur city. (b) To predict the traffic noise with the help of FHWA model in Indian context and CORTN model. (c) To suggest suitable recommendations based on the outcome of the study. The all stations are exceeded the permissible limits, reason of this to increase number of vehicle and roughly parking of vehicle inside of the roads. Rustampur and Mohaddipur are more affected among the all stations it's because of the number of vehicles and honking of horn.
