Environmental noise pollution from road transport and other sources in varna,...eSAT Journals
Abstract The present research has been conducted in Varna – the third biggest city in Bulgaria in order to assess the environmental noise pollution from road transport and other sources. Noise monitoring has been done during the period 2007-2014 at 45 monitoring posts situated at: areas with intensive road traffic; areas with railroad traffic; areas with aviation noise; areas with marine traffic; industrial areas; built-up areas; recreation areas; hospitals and sanatoria; scientific research sites; quiet areas in open country. The noise pollution has been assessed through the daily equivalent sound levels LeqD in the environment that determine the degree of discomfort during daytime (07.00 – 19.00). Research results have been statistically interpreted by variation analysis and the differences have been estimated by Student-Fischer t-criteria. The dominant source of environmental noise pollution in Varna is road traffic. Sound levels at monitoring posts with intensive road traffic are considerably higher than the established limit value – LeqD vary between 69.28 and 71.72 dB(A) and exceed the limit value with 10-12 dB(A). At recreation areas the average LeqD exceed the limit value during the entire monitoring period. More intensive noise pollution has been observed from 2010 onwards as the increase is statistically reliable and the differences are of strong statistical significance (0.001 ≤ Р ≤ 0.05). At built-up areas the average LeqD are close to the limit value and a statistically reliable increase has been registered from 2010 onwards (P < 0.001). Different types of measures are discussed to reduce noise pollution mostly from road transport. Key Words: daily equivalent sound level, environmental noise pollution, noise sources, road traffic

This document summarizes a study on noise pollution from road traffic in Jaipur City, India. Six locations around the city were selected for noise level measurements over a period of 15 days. The sites represented different land uses like residential, commercial and industrial areas. Noise levels were found to exceed safe limits specified by pollution control authorities. Higher noise levels were observed in residential and commercial areas compared to agricultural lands. Noise levels increased with rising traffic volumes and were lower farther from roads. The conclusions recommend noise mitigation measures and note the need for further research on noise measurement, analysis and abatement.
Pollution Due To Noise from Selected PlacesIOSR Journals
Noise pollution degrades environment and also causes health hazard to human beings. In urban areas major sources of noise pollution are traffic and construction activities. Available guide lines for noise pollution have been reviewed in the paper. Measurement of noise levels at selected locations reported in the paper, for example, railway stations, use of machinery at construction sites, etc., was made and compared with the guide line values. It has been observed that the noise level at all locations exceeds the value prescribed by the competent authorities. At the pedestrian locations the noise level is 60 dB to 110 dB. At the railway crossing the noise level is 45 dB to 110 dB. The above inference shows that the noise pollution is paramount at all sources. Due to the various adverse impacts of noise on humans and environment, noise should be controlled. The conclusion drawn from this study is that the technique or the combination of techniques to be employed for noise control depends upon the extent of the noise reduction required, nature of the equipment used and the economy aspects of the available techniques

Studying the Effects of Aircraft Noise Around Abu Dhabi International Airport...civejjour
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of aircraft noise pollution on community and workers’
health near Abu Dhabi International Airport. This study was conducted in residential neighborhoods and
employment areas living and working within a 25-km radius of the airport with high exposure to aircraft
noise and in matched control areas far from the airport (outside the 25-km radius) and are unaffected by
aircraft noise. Data was collected by conducting a revealed-preference face-to-face interview surveys
among the residents and the workers nea rand far from Abu Dhabi International Airport during the months
of September and December 2014. A total of 5,070 residents in both areas (2,579 near the airport and
2,492 far from the airport) and 1,995 workers in both areas (995 near the airport and 1,000 far from the
airport) were interviewed and completed the questionnaire. Binomial Logit Regression Model was used to
determine the impact of aircraft noise on community and workers’ health. After controlling for
confounders, the health of the residents adjacent to the airport who have been chronically exposed to high
aircraft noise level are found to be worse than the control group. The results show that residents from the
noise exposure area have a high level of noise stress, hypertension, headache, general disturbance, loss of
sleep/insomnia, and hearing problems than the matched control area. On the other hand, aircraft noise
pollution near Abu Dhabi Airport has no negative impact on workers adjacent to the airport. The impact of
aircraft noise on community health should not restrain the growth of air travel industry in the city as this
growth is essential and beneficial to the whole nation’s economy. The reduction of aircraft noise level in
the exposed area could be achieved by imposing policies, codes of practices, and action noise plans to
assess and evaluate land use management as an effective tool for mitigating aircraft noise. Future research
should assess community health based on self-reported physician diagnosed blood pressure; and hearing,
stress, headache diagnostic examination.

Construction sites are important source of air pollution emitting pollutants like PM10, etc. which adversely affect human health especially the respiratory system. The present study aims at monitoring of PM10, health condition of workers, evaluation of API (Air Pollution Index) and development of correlation between API and human health in the vicinity of construction sites. In the present study relevant literature review has also been carried out to study and analyze the impact of air pollution on human health. Reconnaissance survey of 19 selected construction sites in Delhi-NCR has been conducted for the period January 2013 to December 2013 and health related data of people in the vicinity of construction sites has been collected individually through a questionnaire. The air quality data (for pollutant PM10) for the area in which the selected construction sites lie has been obtained from the continuous monitoring stations of Central Pollution Control Board. The monthly average PM10 concentration in the ambient air for the study period has been obtained for all the sites. The annual average PM10 level of all the sites has been estimated and compared with the prescribed value. Also the air pollution index (API) (for pollutant PM10) has been calculated for each site and compared with the percentage of people suffering with respiratory problems at the respective sites. The results show that the construction sites where the value of API for PM10 is higher there the percentage of people suffering with respiratory diseases has also been higher.

Assessment of noise pollution in selected sawmills in Port HarcourtIJERA Editor
A study on noise pollution in selected sawmills (Mile 3, Mile 1 and Rumuosi sawmills) in Port Harcourt was carried out. Physical measurements of the noise levels of sawmill machines, including Table Saw, Planing Machine,Stenner 48 Bandsaw, and Sharpening Machine, were made using a digital sound level meter. The background noise of the sawmills ranged 70.58 – 79.70 dBA in the order of Mile 3 > Mile 1 >Rumuosi. The average noise level of sawmill machines for Mile 3, Mile 1 and Rumuosi ranged 89.76±0.09- 100.49±0.20dBA, 89.81±0.13 - 97.00±0.46dBA and 89.76±0.07 -100.10±0.53dBA, respectively. In the three sawmills studied, the Sharpening machine recorded the least noise levelwhile the Planing machine had the highest. The noise dose (D) of the Sharpening machine at the three sawmills ranged 0.97 - 0.98, which is below the permissible limit of 1, while the D for Table Saw, Planing Machine and Stenner 48 Bandsawranged 1.86 - 4.27, which is in excess of 1. From the measured noise level and the estimated D, an empirical model that could predict the recommended time a worker is supposed to work with the identified sawmill machines was developed for each of the three sawmills. The values obtained for the hearing deterioration indexindicate that the risk of developing hearing loss after 35 years of exposure is likely to be in the order of Planing machine > Table saw >Stenner 48 bandsaw > Sharpening machine. It is concluded that there is noise pollution emanating from these sawmill machines.

Studying the Effects of Aircraft Noise Around Abu Dhabi International Airport...civejjour
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of aircraft noise pollution on community and workers’
health near Abu Dhabi International Airport. This study was conducted in residential neighborhoods and
employment areas living and working within a 25-km radius of the airport with high exposure to aircraft
noise and in matched control areas far from the airport (outside the 25-km radius) and are unaffected by
aircraft noise. Data was collected by conducting a revealed-preference face-to-face interview surveys
among the residents and the workers nea rand far from Abu Dhabi International Airport during the months
of September and December 2014. A total of 5,070 residents in both areas (2,579 near the airport and
2,492 far from the airport) and 1,995 workers in both areas (995 near the airport and 1,000 far from the
airport) were interviewed and completed the questionnaire. Binomial Logit Regression Model was used to
determine the impact of aircraft noise on community and workers’ health. After controlling for
confounders, the health of the residents adjacent to the airport who have been chronically exposed to high
aircraft noise level are found to be worse than the control group. The results show that residents from the
noise exposure area have a high level of noise stress, hypertension, headache, general disturbance, loss of
sleep/insomnia, and hearing problems than the matched control area. On the other hand, aircraft noise
pollution near Abu Dhabi Airport has no negative impact on workers adjacent to the airport. The impact of
aircraft noise on community health should not restrain the growth of air travel industry in the city as this
growth is essential and beneficial to the whole nation’s economy. The reduction of aircraft noise level in
the exposed area could be achieved by imposing policies, codes of practices, and action noise plans to
assess and evaluate land use management as an effective tool for mitigating aircraft noise. Future research

Construction sites are important source of air pollution emitting pollutants like PM10, etc. which adversely affect human health especially the respiratory system. The present study aims at monitoring of PM10, health condition of workers, evaluation of API (Air Pollution Index) and development of correlation between API and human health in the vicinity of construction sites. In the present study relevant literature review has also been carried out to study and analyze the impact of air pollution on human health. Reconnaissance survey of 19 selected construction sites in Delhi-NCR has been conducted for the period January 2013 to December 2013 and health related data of people in the vicinity of construction sites has been collected individually through a questionnaire. The air quality data (for pollutant PM10) for the area in which the selected construction sites lie has been obtained from the continuous monitoring stations of Central Pollution Control Board. The monthly average PM10 concentration in the ambient air for the study period has been obtained for all the sites. The annual average PM10 level of all the sites has been estimated and compared with the prescribed value. Also the air pollution index (API) (for pollutant PM10) has been calculated for each site and compared with the percentage of people suffering with respiratory problems at the respective sites. The results show that the construction sites where the value of API for PM10 is higher there the percentage of people suffering with respiratory diseases has also been higher.

Assessment of noise pollution in selected sawmills in Port HarcourtIJERA Editor
A study on noise pollution in selected sawmills (Mile 3, Mile 1 and Rumuosi sawmills) in Port Harcourt was carried out. Physical measurements of the noise levels of sawmill machines, including Table Saw, Planing Machine,Stenner 48 Bandsaw, and Sharpening Machine, were made using a digital sound level meter. The background noise of the sawmills ranged 70.58 – 79.70 dBA in the order of Mile 3 > Mile 1 >Rumuosi. The average noise level of sawmill machines for Mile 3, Mile 1 and Rumuosi ranged 89.76±0.09- 100.49±0.20dBA, 89.81±0.13 - 97.00±0.46dBA and 89.76±0.07 -100.10±0.53dBA, respectively. In the three sawmills studied, the Sharpening machine recorded the least noise levelwhile the Planing machine had the highest. The noise dose (D) of the Sharpening machine at the three sawmills ranged 0.97 - 0.98, which is below the permissible limit of 1, while the D for Table Saw, Planing Machine and Stenner 48 Bandsawranged 1.86 - 4.27, which is in excess of 1. From the measured noise level and the estimated D, an empirical model that could predict the recommended time a worker is supposed to work with the identified sawmill machines was developed for each of the three sawmills. The values obtained for the hearing deterioration indexindicate that the risk of developing hearing loss after 35 years of exposure is likely to be in the order of Planing machine > Table saw >Stenner 48 bandsaw > Sharpening machine. It is concluded that there is noise pollution emanating from these sawmill machines.

This document presents an algorithm for imperceptibly embedding a DNA-encoded watermark into a color image for authentication purposes. It applies a multi-resolution discrete wavelet transform to decompose the image. The watermark, encoded into DNA nucleotides, is then embedded into the third-level wavelet coefficients through a quantization process. Specifically, the watermark nucleotides are complemented and used to quantize coefficients in the middle frequency band, modifying the coefficients. The watermarked image is reconstructed through inverse wavelet transform. Extraction reverses these steps to recover the watermark without the original image. The algorithm aims to balance imperceptibility and robustness through this wavelet-based, blind watermarking scheme.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to measure and evaluate noise levels arising from operation of Sam
Ratulangi International Airport of Manado to the surrounding environment, then proceed to make the imp ct
restraint strategies. Environmental noise measurement method is done in accordance with the Regulation of the
Environment State Minister of the Republic of Indonesia No. 48/1996 on Noise Level Treshold. By the
measurement and the calculation of the level of noise during the night (LDAY-NIGHT) at the locations of retrieved
results: in Apron 87.4 dB (A); Koka village's 67.5 dB (A); Wusa village 73.1 dB (A); and Mapanget village 59.7
dB (A), which means all of the location occurs lending in excess of a threshold noise levels according to the
threshold of noise Standards for residential areas is 55 dB (A), and the airport of 75 dB (A). While based on the
perception of the people who live around the airport which is located in the village of Koka, Wusa and
Mapanget about noise obtained information changes on the health of the body such as insomnia (58%), hearing
loss (18%), declining environmental quality (13%) and disturbance on communication (11%), which means
there is the influence of impact noise that occurs on the physical health of people living around the airport.
Restraint and handling of the problem of noise at the airport can be arranged through Noise restraint at the
source; Noise restraint on the transmission path; and Noise restraint on humans.
Keywords: Airport Environment Noise Pollution, Level of Noise Equivalent, Noise Level Treshold, Noise

I. Introduction
The noise is an unwanted sound that may cause some psychological and physical stress to the living
and non-living objects exposed to it [17]. Noise level is a measure of the energy of sound which is expressed in
units of decibels or dB. Noise threshold is the limit maximum noise level permitted dumped into the
environment from the undertaking or activity so as not to cause disruption of human health and environmental
comfort [22].
Many airports faced noise disturbance around an airport is caused by aircraft in the air; reverse thrust
used by aircraft to slow down after landing; aircraft on the ground, including taxiing, engine testing and running
on-board electrical generators; departing aircraft that stray from the Preferred Noise Routes (PNRs); road traffic
to and from the airport [1]. In addition, operation and implementation of the airport and all its activities may
cause impact on workers, communities, and the environment around the airport [14].
Sam Ratulangi International Airport of Manado as the gates of the North Sulawesi province, from year
to year increase the number of flight traffic, which in 2013 is recorded as much as 718 international flights and
domestic flights 23,989 enter and exit through the airport (Angkasa Pura, 2014). This resulted in increased
operational noise happens and influential to the employees at the airport and also the people who live around the
airport [10].
Noise is one of the environmental health problems in large cities [4]. There are 8–12% of the world
population has suffered the impact of noise in various forms and estimated the figure will continue to rise, and
in 2001 was estimated at 120 million population is experiencing hearing loss [20]. According to the Kompas
newspaper, edition Saturday, January 23, 2010, the Indonesia Ministry of health survey conducted in
collaboration with the Faculty of medicine University of Indonesia of 20,000 people in seven provinces in
Indonesia found about 38 million people Indonesia is experiencing hearing loss. Furthermore several adverse
effects have been associated with exposure to environmental traffic noise, where among the more commonly
documented ones, sleep disturbances have been regarded as being the most serious. Both noise annoyance and
sleep disturbance have been proposed as important mediators of the impact of noise on health [8].
Generally, the legislation that regulates noise pollution, especially around airports, varies by country
and even between locations within countries. We use Indonesia legislation or regulation regarding noise
pollution control at airport as an example of some of the problems that may arise. Those are Legislation of the
2. Analysis of Noise Pollution on Airport Environment (Case study of International ….

Republic of Indonesia No.32/2009 on Protection and Management of Environment; The Government Regulation
of the Republic of Indonesia No. 40/2012 on the Airport Development and Environment Preservation; and The
Environment State Minister Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia No. 48/1996 on Noise Level Treshold.
This research aims to measure and evaluate noise levels arising from operation of Sam Ratulangi
International Airport of Manado, then proceeded to make the impact restrain strategy.
II. Methodology
2.1. Research Object
In this study, the noise pollution is used as a research object, it will be approached through combination
of 2 (two) types of measurement are a standard measurement using Sound Level Meter (SLM) and measuring
the perception of the people who live around airports using a questionnaire.
2.2. Research Location
Site selection or measurement points is chosen based on the noise prediction of the most high. They are
Apron (50 m) from runway, residence areas located at Wusa (1800 m), Koka (1900 m) and Mapanget (2700 m)
from runway.
2.3. Data Collecting and Sampling Method
Data collection techniques used in this research is a survey, observation and documentation in order to
obtain the data and information required. Noise pollution measured data namely noise equivalent level (Leq) is
retrieved by noise level measurement at selected locations and normal event time (no activities both take off and
landing), take off event and landing event. The measurement results are collection of data samples namely Leq
event-noise.
In addition on this research using public perception in order to obtain information related to exposure
to noise pollution that had befallen him or her. The respondents were selected based on their knowledge and
experiences about noise pollution and as permanent residents living in the vicinity of the airport. Then based on
this selected 20 people from each village where the noise level measurement is carried out (the village of Wusa,
Koka and Mapanget), totally are sixty persons that gives their perception through the questionnaire.
2.4. Research Variables
Variables are used in this research as follows:
1. Noise equivalent level (Leq) of day and night which is a model of the equivalent noise level is used to
determine the level of event-noise in an area [22].
2. Public perception [9].
2.5. Research Instruments
The instruments used in this research is sound level meter with a measuring range 30–130 dB(A);
portable weather meter and questionnaires for the public perception of noise experienced or perceived.
Whereas the instruments that are used to retrieve data is structured questionnaire (closed question),
where the details of the questions developed from the research variables formed from previous studies and
amount of related Legislation dan Regulation of Republic of Indonesia.
2.6. Method of Environment Noise Measurement
Equivalent Continuous Level (Leq) is the noise level of the fluctuating noise during a specific time
interval is equivalent to the established (steady) noise levels in the same time interval, known as Leq event-
noise [22]. Its unit is dB (A). The equation for the Leq event-noise written as:
i
n
0.1L
i=1
1
Leq = 10log 10
n
(1)
Notes :
Leq = Level of equivalent noise; n = sample data number of noise measurement; Li = Noise value on
measurement time interval specified.
In order to measure the environmental noise level is done by a direct method, using the integrated
sound level meter with Leq measurement facilities [22]. Event measurement is performed every 5 seconds for
10 minutes. The Interval time is set for 1 hour. Measuring instrument mounted on one of the houses for 24 hours
non-stop so that it can be produced as many as 24 data consists of 16 data for day (06.00-22.00) and 8 data for

night measurement (22.00-06.00). After the data is retrieved then performed the calculation value of LD (Leq
day), LN (Leq night) and LD-N (Leq day-night). By using equation (1) that has been inserted value measurement
assumptions above, then the equation (1) becomes as follows:

Notes :
Lday = Leq value for day (16 hours): 06.00-22.00; Lnight = Leq value for night (8 hours): 22.00-06.00
L1 to L24 = Leq value every hour
Next, Leq (day-night) value can be calculated by using equation:

Notes :
Lday-night = Leq value during 24 hours; Lday = Leq value along day (16 hours); Lnight = Leq value along night (8
hours); (Lnight+5) states that measurement result at night should be added 5 dB(A) as a correction
III. Results And Discussion
3.1. Data Acquisition (Sound level meter)
Based on identification of the noise carried out in the area around Sam Ratulangi International Airport
of Manado covers 4 (four) point measurement, then it can be known to the average level of noise (Leq event-

Measurement results in Table 1 shows figures for noise level has exceeded a required threshold,
especially in Koka village, Mapanget, and Wusa. Noise level occurs at those locations are not eligible for the
housing/residence allocation, including the noise occurs on Apron caused by airport operations. Those locations
are community residence located closest to the runway so that are those areas directly received noise exposure
as well as its impact for residents. If compared to secondary data (retrieved from Airport Health Office) as Fig.
1. below, specifically describe the Apron highest noise level recorded by 84.3 dB (A) at 24.00-01.00. This figure
is still required noise threshold excessive, particularly for the area of airports, regulated to 75 – 80 dB (A).

Furthermore, using equation (2), (3) and (4), then the results can be obtained Leq day, Leq night, and
Leq day-night, as in table 2 below:

LNIGHT 79.9 60.0 65.8 48.1
LDAY-NIGHT 87.4 67.5 73.1 59.7
With increasing flight frequencies, especially night flights then the night noise impact also increased,
for example in the period 21.00 – 02.00 a peak noise levels occurs at 24.00-01.00(see Table 1), as same as
shown on Table 2 by value of LNIGHT for each measurement point where the highest LNIGHT occur in both
residence locations and Apron, except Mapanget village. Likewise the morning measurement period of 06.00-
09.00 shows noise threshold excessive (Apron, Koka village and Mapanget), as same as the period of 15.00 –
19.00 measurement. Thus, generally on those measurement locations does not meet the threshold requirements
of the noise level, which is for residence areas is 55 dB (A), and the airport of 75 dB (A) [21].
3.2. Public Perception Who Live in the Vicinity of the Airport
To improve the results of the noise level measurement above, then made a measurement using
questionnaires to the communities who lived in the vicinity of the airport, the residents of Wusa, Koka and
Mapanget village. The purpose of this measurement is to obtain information of the socio-demographics of the
area around the airport as the comparison of the above normative measurement results. With the acquired socio-
demographics information, then expected in the strategy designed for tackling the noise problem can be more
communities protective from noise happened exposure. After the data is tabulated, obtained some of the
following information:
1. Resident (respondent) age are beetwen 20–30 years (22%); 30–40 years (38%); 40–50 years (23 %), and
more than 50 years (17 %).
2. Living duration at this location are beetwen 0–5 years (31%); 5–10 years (24%); 10–15 years (17 %);
15–20 years (13%) and more than 20 years (15%).
3. There are noise impacts health: sleeping disturbance (58%), hearing degradation (18%), Quality of life
degradation (13%) dan communication disturbance (11%).
4. Others information as show in Table 3 below

Table 3. Public Perception of Noise Pollution
No Question Know Does Not Know
1 Knowing well about noise pollution 77% 23%
2 Noise impacts to the human health 87% 13%
3 Noise impacts to the human mental health 27% 73%
4 Knowledge of the noise protection device (ear muff) 61% 39%
5 The importance of using noise protection device (ear muff) 48% 52%
6 Reducing noise was close ears by hands 98% 2%
From Table 3 above, the community understands the noise pollution and its effects on health
(physiological and psychological). It's just to do a protection on hearing a few still use ear protective equipment,
but most just cover their ears with their hands when the planes pass by. Thus, generally, it can be concluded the
happened noise has given impact on the sleeping disturbance, the baby is crying because of the shock and fear,
degradation in hearing, Emotional instability and hypertension. When these findings confirmed to the PT
Angkasa Pura as an Airport operator obtained information that what made the management of Angkasa Pura in
dealing with various issues of this pollution is in compliance with the regulations in force, all of which have
been published in the Periodic Report and Environmental Monitoring Plan of Sam Ratulangi Airport. It
recognized the existence of excess of threshold on this noise problem. It's just that until now there has not been
any complaints from the public relating to the question of the noise so that the management of PT. Angkasa
Pura also considers there is no serious problem about this.
The literature on physiological effects of exposure to aircraft noise suggests there are several
kinds of reflex responses that cause a stress reaction, such as emotional stress [17]. Noise can also interfere
with communication in conversation and furthermore will interfere with the productivity and safety [9].
Physiological effects of noise can lead to decreased hearing ability and pain at a very high level [6], if exposed
to noise more than 85 dB (A) at the airport are at risk of increased systolic blood pressure of 2.5 times and a
diastolic of 2.1 times [10] and for those who are exposed to noise with an intensity of more than 85 dB (A) at
the cement factory resulted an increasing of blood pressure (systolic 10.5 times and diastolic 7.6 times) [4].
Management of Angkasa Pura Airport's has made efforts to minimize the impact by planting trees
along a fence bordering houses as residents. However the trees there are currently not enough effective in noise
muffle, because those trees planted above ground flat (Figure 2) and interstellar density levels of the tree are
also still quite porous so that there are wide enough fissures. The planting configuration like this not to absorb
the noise.
Widefissures
Fig 2. Noise muffle plants.
3.3. Noise Restraint Strategy
In order to control noise at the airport more effectively it is necessary to make the strategy of handling
the problems of noise pollution as an action plans periodic (annual). Thus the noise impact problems handling
can be done all year round and is integrated with the management functions of the other, as follows:
• Identify the Airport noise problems
• Determine the level of noise that can be accepted by employees and residents around the airport
• Determine noise source.
• Make predictions based on current conditions, so that action plans can be made early to be used as guidelines
for the handling of the noise problem. That in this case there is planning that is anticipatory, so it's not purely
reactive only.
• Steps to make improvements and adjustments to the operational conditions through these approach: Techno-
engineering, Bio-engineering dan Socio-engineering.
• To do evaluation dan monitoring periodically

At the operational level, noise control can be performed through reduction and control of noise levels
which comprises 3 aspects, namely:
1. Restraint at source, consist of:
a) Protection at equipments, structure and workers from noise impacts.
b) Nois level Restrictions may be emitted from the source.
Noise reduction at the source usually require modification or reduce of vibration causes as the noise source
and equipment components reduction. Noise control at the source is relatively more efficient and practical
as compared to control at the transmission path and the receiver. This can be performed routine
maintenance on equipment such as hold speakers, Tow Bar and other ground handling equipment
2. Control of the transmission path. This is performed in between the source and the noise receiver. The
principle is weakening the intensity of noise that transmitted from the source to the receiver by means of
creating obstacles. There are two ways of controlling the noise in the transmission path in the outdoor and
indoor noise control. For example, a certain type of tree planting (like pine) on top of embankment soil as
high as ± 10 m parallel to the runway, thus giving a more significant influence in absorbing noise [13]. See
Figure 3. below
7-10 m
8-12 m
10 m
Road-Min 15 mRunway
Fig. 3 Noise Mitigation Embankment (cross section)
Tree planting can be used for comparison of embankment width and height is 1: 4 slope on both sides is 1:
2 with a distance of planting enough dense [12]. This way need to be followed by others that rearranged
landscape, land use planning and the use of the building noise reducer. As for building noise silencers with
dimensions height minimum of 2.75 m, and a wall thickness of at least 10 cm [27]. Other methods are quite
effective in order to reduce the impact of this is making land use planning-empty land around the airport
[11].
3. Noise Control in humans. This control is done to reduce the noise level received per day. This control is
primarily aimed at people who every day receive noise, such as aircraft operator and others who receive
noise. In the human ravages of noise received by hearing (inner ear) so his methods make use of the tools
can reduce the level of noise entering the ear. This is done on a shift system for the enforcement of the
operators of ground handling, maximum 5 (five) hours per day, including the necessity to use ear muff for
workers in an Apron. As for the people who live around airports need mounting silencers designed
programs in houses of residents with the help of funds from party PT. Angkasa Pura as the operators of Sam
Ratulangi Airport in Manado, which it is also a form of CSR Angkasa Pura in harmonize surroundings.
IV. CONCLUSION
By the measurement and the calculation of the level of noise during the day and night (LDAY-NIGHT)
obtained resultas: Apron 87.4 dB(A); Koka village 67.5 dB(A); Wusa village 73.1 dB(A); and Mapanget village
59.7 dB(A), This means all the location happened excessive threshold, where for Residence area 55 dB(A), and
Airport 75 dB(A).
Based on public perception who live around Airport, especially Koka, Wusa dan Mapanget village
about noise, obtained information sleeping disturbance (58%), hearing degradation (18%), Quality of life
degradation (13%) dan communication disturbance (11%).
Restraint and handling of the problem of noise at the airport can be arranged through Noise restraint at
the source; Noise restraint on the transmission path; and Noise restraint on humans.
Recommendation for management of International Sam Ratulangi Airport of Manado can plant type of
tree planting (like pine) on top of embankment soil as high as ± 10 m parallel to the runway, thus giving a more
significant influence in absorbing noise.
