This document summarizes a study on the effects of noise pollution on human health in the English Bazar municipality in Malda, India. The study found that noise pollution levels fluctuate throughout the day and are highest near major roads with heavy traffic. It also found that people living near these noisy roads reported greater physiological and psychological impacts like hearing problems, lack of sleep, anxiety, and high blood pressure, especially among age groups 30-59 and 60+. Statistical tests showed significant relationships between noise exposure levels and reported health symptoms in different age groups. The conclusion calls for government action to better control traffic and reduce noise pollution to protect human health.

6. Study area
English bazar municipality (popularly known

grain and other commercial commodities.
English bazar municipality is a highly traffic
control area. For the unwanted traffic sounds
and the other sources of sounds makes noise
pollution .

7. Objective of this study:-
• To find out the impacts of noise pollution on
human health according to their age group.
• To get self-rated feelings relating to road-traffic
noise.

8. Set of hypothesis
• Those people who are living in the traffic area
they are highly effected to psychological as well
as physiological by the sound pollution rather
then residential area.
• For establish this hypothesis we used the relative
risk test,

9. Data base and
Methodology

10. • The primary data has been collected through the
directly field visit of my study area. The
questioner survey, personal interview, door to
door data collection has been done for this
purpose.
• For analysis this data we used some statistical
technique like relative risk calculation, and
simple graphical technique in MS excel 2007

16. How to reduce noise pollution
• New engine technologies.
• More efficient traffic management schemes.
• Increasing public awareness of noise by
providing factual information.
• Introducing noise zones along traffic routes and
around airports.
• Legal specification of maximum noise emission
from products.

17. Conclusion:-
• This present Term paper explores the effects and
reactions of noise pollution on human health.
After analysis above these it is clear that the
selected hypotheses is significant. Every age
group of people extremely disturbed by
increasing noise pollution. And Govt. should be
think about increasing noise pollution. In
English bazar municipality should take charge to
control the traffic system and plantation tree for
control the noise pollution.
