摘要

The chapter reviews the various approaches carried out for noise modeling and mapping in recent times. Noise modeling and mapping is a very vital tool for understanding and evaluating the noise scenario in urban environments and has been used aggressively in European continents to promote sustainable and quieter environment. In the Indian scenario, this exercise has been now widely used in order to understand the noise scenario and devise suitable mitigation strategies for noise pollution prevention and control. However, the major bottleneck arises in terms of having a countrywide validated noise model. The present chapter presents a case study of noise mapping and simulation of the control strategies on a specialized commercially available noise mapping software package. The chapter is very helpful for planning and devising appropriate control measures for reducing the noise exposure to the community and promotion of quieter environment in urban scenario.
