17. Control of Noise PollutionControl of Noise Pollution
The source of noise must be reduced.
The acoustical furnishing must be done so
that the sound can be absorbed.
The path of transmission of sound must be
stopped and the receiver of noise must be
safeguarded.
The amount of traffic must be reduced
near the residential homes, educational
institutes and hospitals.
Noise producing industries, airport, bus
stations, transport terminals and railway
stations to sighted far from where living
places
