Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the noise pollution level in Feni
District Town, Bangladesh. 7 different zones and 57 locations were selected in
Feni District Town based on land use. The noise levels were determined by using
a sound level meter (REED SD-4023) from January 01, 2021, to April 30, 2021.
Multiple samples were collected from each sampling location. The noise level in
every site has been recorded three times per day. The mean noise level and Leq
of Feni District Town were determined to be 73.53 dBA and
90.41 dBA, respectively. The highest mean noise level was found in Mohipal (91.29 dBA), whereas the lowest mean noise
level was discovered in Puraton Sunagaji Bus Stand (52.78 dBA). Furthermore,
the mean noise level ranking of various land uses in Feni District Town was Road Intersection (79.69 dBA) > Residential Area (79.60
dBA) > Mixed Areas (75.99 dBA) > Commercial Area (73.53 dBA) >
Industrial Area (72.40 dBA) > Silent Area (70.49 dBA) > Village Area
(62.99 dBA). The noise level exceeded the standard limit in all locations.
Consequently, people might have both physical and mental health problems,
resulting in an unsustainable existence.
