Noise pollution is one of the major concerns in big cities as well as in the crowded area of small cites, Gorakhpur is fastgrowing city and has many locations with high noise levels. Various crossroads and intersections have traffic issues this causes high noise level. In this study, three locations were selected for noise level assessment, nearby areas of Gorakhnath Temple, BRD medical college and MMMUT. These locations are educational (silent) and low noise level zone but because they situated near traffic roads, which cause high noise levels around them.
