Sound, when becomes noise, is among the significant  environmental factors for people’s health and it has an  important role in both physical and psychological  injuries. There was interaction with the people living  in residential areas and workings in different areas  and suggestions were enlisted to find out the ways to  tackle the problem of noise pollution.
