Noise pollution is the serious or more noise that may damage the activity or human life. The contribution of most outside noise is mainly due to building activities. Noise pollution affects both health and human nature
Noise annoyance and corresponding problems, bring on noise pollutant through the process of building assemblage, and have come over exponentially significant.
This hassle can affect the workers, as well as the residencies.
Construction sites are a very common source of noise pollution. Construction and works related to demolition are mostly riotous and repeatedly take place in residential places (out of town). Construction noise is noise that arises from an activity at a construction site that includes; work due to demolition, work related to strategy, and building renewal work
Construction noise contributors include pneumatic equipment, air compressors, machine mounted percussion drills, loaders, trucks and breaking equipment.
Construction sites bring out lot of noise, mainly from heavy equipment and machinery used in construction field.
Over noise is virtually annoyance and confound to the humanity, but can lead to loss of hearing, hypertension, and irregular heartbeat.
The factors which influence the society and construction are identified. Such main sources of construction worksite noises are:
1. Diesel power generators
2. Cutting and welding processes
3. Heavy machinery like trucks
4. Transport of materials
5. Demolition
6. Maintenance and Repair
7. Erection.
The noise levels created by construction equipment will vary greatly depending on factors such as,
1. The type of equipment
2. The specific model
3. The operation being performed and
4. The condition of the equipment.
Noise effects on human beings in construction site are classified into two types such as
Noise hazards
i. Permanent hearing loss
ii. Neural stress
Noise nuisance
i) Efficiency
ii) Mental stress
iii) Irritability
iv) Sleep interference
v) Habit of talking loudly
vi) Hearing loss
vii) Concentration
