(b) Delay intervals
(c) Proper firing sequence
7.3 Administrative Control
Places like residential area, school and hospitals demand lower noise level. On the
other hand, essential services like airport, ports/harbours/railway station do generate noise beyond comfortable level.
Planning developmental activity at planning stage like determining location of
airport and industries away from sensitive area (like hospitals and schools) can help
in maintaining sound level.
Awareness to citizens to adopt low noise activity as etiquette and behave accordingly can lead to reduce long way by avoiding/reducing:
1. Volume of TV, radio and other audio loud speakers
2. Making noisy horn at traffic and during driving
3. Using loudspeakers in public places
4. Product disclosure
5. Bursting crackers
6. Noisy conversation in public places
Labels that reveal the noise emitted from goods promote informed consumer
choice (Hammer et al. 2014). Labelling of noise emissions is mandatory for certain
products in Argentina, Brazil, China and the European Union (NAE 2010).
Imposing law can happen in many ways, which includes but not restricted to
1. Banning noisy sources like crackers or noisy horns
2. Impose restriction in consents/license with respect time and level of noise
3. Declare noise free
4. Compel use of PPE
5. Punish defaulter
6. Impose restriction on
(a) Operation of airport
(b) Bore well drilling
(c) Noisy construction activity during night
Reduction of noise at source can be achieved by
1. Land-use planning/management
2. Noise reducing operational procedures
3. Operating restrictions
4. Reduction of noise at source
