NOISE
POLLUTION
INTRODUCTION
Noise Pollution is any unwanted or disturbing sound.
(US EPA)
INTRODUCTION
Sound becomes unwanted when it either interferes with
normal activities such as sleeping, conversation, or disrupts
or diminishes ones quality of life.
The fact that you cant see, taste or smell it may help
explain why it has not received as much attention as other
types of pollution, such as air pollution, or water pollution.
HOUSING AREA
(NEIGHBOURHOOD)
INDUSTRIAL AREA
INSFRASTRUCTURE AREA
NEIGHBOURHOOD NOISE
Any type of noise that
is from residential
premises that might be
considered
unreasonable with
regard to its volume,
intensity, and duration,
and the time, place and
other circumstances in
which it is emitted.
SOURCE OF NEIGHBOURHOOD
NOISE
The playing of loud music and noisy parties
Barking dogs
Renovation work (hammering, using power
tools)
Burglar alarms and car alarms
Religion and culture ceremony
INDUSTRIAL NOISES
Industrial noise is
the
high intensity of
sound produced
by machines in
various industries,
mills and factories.
1. Product Fabrication
Eg: Metal Fabrication
(Cutting, shearing, pressing and riveting of
metal).
4. Processing
-Eg: oil refinery.
-Major sources are furnaces, heat exchangers,
pumps, compressors and steam leaks.
2. Product Assembly
- High level of higher frequency noise due to
operation of electric and pneumatic wrenches.
3. Power Generation
-Produced by turbine generators and air
compressors.
-Eg: fans and blowers.
INFRASTRUCTURE NOISES
Infrastructure based on Environmental Quality
(Prescribed Activities) (Environmental Impact Assessment)

recreational purposes.
c) Construction of expressways
d) Construction of national highways.
e) Construction of new townships.
SOURCE OF INFRASTRUCTURE
NOISE
-hearing loss
-sleep disturbance
-occupational deafness
-heart attack
-migration of birds
-effect on egg production
-inability to hear important prey/predator sound

MITIGATION MEASURES
1. Prohibition notices
This notice sets out requirements that you must comply with, including:
the type of plant or machinery to use
limits on hours of working
maximum noise levels
2. Prior Consent
Your consent application must contain details of:
the work you want to undertake
the location of your works
your proposed working hours
the method of work
the steps you will take to minimise noise
5. Working Hours
--limit the sound produced during working hours
vibration.
- Position these systems that create high levels of noise as far
away as possible from housing.
- Use mains power in preference to diesel generators to reduce
nuisance residents. .
Reduce the noise level when running generators and
CONCLUSION
Enviromental Impact Assessment (EIA) acts as a tool to
evaluate the possible threats that may arise to the
people in the housing area, industrial area and
infrastructure area and propose mitigation measures to
minimize the noise impacts.
