ABSTRACT
The modern civilization creates more and more noise, because of the development of Industries, machinery and
Technology. It has been reported that noise inside the factories can become a health hazard causing deafness which includes temporary or permanent hearing loss. An assessment of noise pollution during different seasons in Industrialized and Urbanized towns were always highly polluted. The noise from different vehicles, festivals, transportations, blasting etc., and it is recorded that during festival (Diwali), marriage ceremony the noise levels as high as 110 dBA – 115 dBA and
106 dBA – 108 dBA respectively which were more than the permissible level have been recorded so far. The organizers of this festival are therefore advised to look out alternative ways of organizing the festival without excessive noise in the time of festivals. The public facing the risk of physiological ill effect of environmental pollution due to industrial development and other human activities. The sound levels generated by spinning mills of Banahatti and small scale Industries of
Rabakavi. The average noise levels in the day time, after noon and night time were recorded and found to be the lowest noise levels during afternoon at the investigation periods. The traffic density and sound levels of individual vehicles and other human activities during afternoon time found in reduced levels.
