A Comprehensive Review of Noise Measurement, Standards, Assessment, Geospatial Mapping and Public Health

Noise pollution is an emerging issue in cities around the world. a pernicious pollutant urban landscapes mainly due to increasing number of city inhabitants, road and aviation traffic, industrial construction activities, appliances or machinery used daily life. The objective this paper present comprehensive review noise measurement, guidelines/standards, parameters monitoring; assessment associated with area characteristics violations guidelines/standards; geospatial mapping planning; physiological psychological effects exposure on public health. results revealed that standard methodology was lacking many reviewed studies for measurement various land-use patterns, especially duration levels exceeded prescribed standards almost every study across globe irrespective designated zone, are exhibiting rising trends particularly traffic-induced noise; majority population has been exposed noisy environment affected significant health impacts; demonstrated high potential abatement management; marked drop during COVID-19 lockdown period. Based results, suggested some future research perspectives management include focus – methodical guidelines standards; areas, real-time information system; universal database software (DBMS) such as SQL Improvado compile data single storage will allow multiple users access despite different geographical locations; awareness programs using multi-media approaches areas; strict implementation laws regulations, leads development advanced technologies, integrated strategies, sustainable environmental planning mitigate menace pollution.
