Strategies to minimize noise levels: - Conduct noise assessments and baseline monitoring to identify areas of concern - Implement noise mitigation measures such as sound barriers, noise-reducing materials, and schedule adjustments - Use noise monitoring equipment to track progress and make data-driven decisions - Engage with local communities to educate them about the project and address their concerns - Collaborate with regulatory agencies to ensure compliance with noise standards and regulations - Utilize noise-reducing technologies, such as noise-cancelling systems, to minimize disruptions - Develop a noise management plan and regularly review and update it to ensure optimal noise levels.

To monitor noise levels in an urban infrastructure project: Pre-assessment: Identify noise sources and sensitive receptors during construction and operation. Baseline Measurements: Measure existing noise levels across key times (day, evening, night) using certified equipment. Monitor: Use Class 1 sound level meters at sensitive points, following standards (NP ISO 1996). Evaluate: Assess noise levels using standard indicators like Lden (day-evening-night) and Leq (equivalent continuous level) for fixed sources. Compare measured levels to regulatory thresholds, ensuring compliance with maximum exposure limits and mitigating measures. Mitigate: Apply best practices to control noise during both construction and operation phases.

To monitor noise in urban infrastructure, use strategically placed sound level meters, set baseline limits, conduct periodic readings, and use real-time data systems to detect and address noise limit breaches.

First, identify the source of the noise/noisy equipment. Next, determine the sensitive receptors and the times when they are most sensitive to noise. Assess the noise levels in relation to these sensitivity times. Activities should then be scheduled preferably during the low disturbing hours, and appropriate noise barriers should be installed before work begins.

Conduct noise level monitoring program near by sensitive receptors location. Periodically check vehicle & equipment condition Implement noise mitigation management plan during the working time
