Abstract
Noise pollution of urban areas is one of serious factors that
the local agencies and state authorities have to consider in
decision making processes. The spatial analysis and
geostaticstical methods of GIS can play an important role to
control noise pollution. GIS provide framework to integrate
noise calculation models with spatial data that can be used for
building noise maps. Noise maps can be used to assess
and monitor the influence of noise effects. Noise maps within
GIS have been developed in most of the European Countries.
European Commission has approved the Directive called
‘Environmental Noise Directive 2002/49/EC’ for noise
mapping. Most of the noise maps that are available today and
also that suggested by EU are in two dimensional (2D) in
which noise effect is presented in x,y plane. 2D noise maps are
built with the noise levels of one particular height. In the
reality, noise travels in all direction. Residents living in high
rise buildings are also severely affected by traffic noise. It is
therefore important to develop 3D noise maps that can show
influence of noise in all direction. This research work
developed a methodology to build 3D noise models to
analyze the three dimensional effect of noise pollution within
a GIS. A case study was illustrated using a 3D city model for
Chennai city. This involved building simple 3D city model,
generation of 3D observation points (that represent the
virtual microphones) and noise calculation using standard
noise calculation models. The noise has calculated from 6 to
11 am in city limits of locations as Parry’scorner,
mathuravolyal etc. Fictitious data was used to calculate the
noise levels of study area. Appropriate Spatial interpolation
methods were used to develop noise surface. The results
showed that the quality and accuracy of noise models can be
improved with high density of observation points. The
observation points selected in straight line with evenly spacing
showed good visualization of acoustic situation. All the data’s
has implemented with gis and concluded.

1.INTRODUCTION
1.1 Global Concern On Noise Pollution
Environmental pollution such as air, water, hazardous
waste and noise pollution hasalways been a global concern
affecting both the public’s health and the planet’sfragile
ecosystems. The concentration of environmental pollution
Volume 5, Issue 3, May – June 2016
is significantlyincreasing and causing serious threat to the
quality of the environment. Managementof environmental
pollution is a challenge. Although there are many
managementtechniques, the problem of environmental
pollution still remains the same. One ofthe serious issues
of environmental pollution is noise. Noise pollution in
large urbanareas is regarded as a growing problem of
communities.
Currently, noise pollution in urban environment is one of
the serious issues ofconcern in major cities of world.
There are various factors that contribute to increaseof
noise levels in urban areas. One of the factors is the
increase in urban population,which contributes to high
traffic volume combined with increased intensity. In
mosturban areas, the corridors are developed in a close
proximity where people live andwork, which led to limited
space and thus increase the number of high risebuildings.
This type of settlement created a dense environment in
urban areas, thusincreasing the traffic volume. Numerous
countries have implemented newtechnologies to control
noise pollution in urban areas. For example, low
noisegenerating engines, changes in quality of tyres,
changes in road material.
1.2. GIS For Noise Mapping
GIS provides the central database management
environment and noise data can beimported into a GIS.
The phenomena of noise involve spatial distribution
anddynamic process that fits into GIS environment. New
mapping approachessupported by a GIS can be combined
with spatial data analysis and mathematicalmodelling that
further improves the quality of noise maps. Noise maps
providespatial presentation of acoustic situation. Noise
maps build in GIS can be used foranalysis and
management process. GIS provides good visualisation
tools of noisepropagation and assist in building a spatial
decision support system that can be usedfor decision
making process. Noise effect can be determined in GIS by
combiningnoise levels with the location of people living in
the area and their sensibility tonoise (Kluijver de Henket
al., 2003). Mapping noise within GIS was started in
mid90s. Two approaches were been used for building
noise maps. One uses themeasured noise levels that are
obtained by measuring noise levels in the field. Thesecond

approach is using noise prediction models. Measurement
of noise in the fieldis difficult because of various factors,
such as, variation in traffic flow, speed, typeand variation
in weather conditions. It is time consuming and requires
hugeinvestment and labour, therefore, noise calculation
software is widely used forbuilding noise maps. Noise
maps found to be very helpful for assessment of
noiseeffect. The noise maps that presently exist and that
recommended by EU Directiveare in 2D.

It is observed that the noise level is maximum during
evening peak hour between 4:00pm and 6:00pm. Noise
level is gradually increasing from morning 6:00am to
10:00am and then reaching morning peak from 10:00am
to 11:00am. Further the noise level is decreasing from
11:00am onwards till 2:00pm and 2:00pm to 4:00pm the
noise level increases gradually. The noise is decreasing
from 6:00pm onwards. It is also observed that the noise
level is decreasing towards buildings from the source. The
noise level is higher on far side than that of near side and
the reason for this is the return trip to home is more. .

4. CONCLUSION
The research findings suggest a time-consuming procedure by means of which it would be possible to perform
noise assessment studies on a larger sample size in
a shorter sampling duration. Taking into consideration
rush hours during the morning and evening and reduced
traffic load in the noon, it could be concluded that surfaces
have significant impact on reducing the noise level
fluctuations. The influence of traffic flow on noise
pollution levels seems to be overshadowed by civil
architecture. Changes in urban fabric have led to
a perceptible change in the average daytime sound
pressure level in urban areas. As such, high-rise buildings
increase reflection of sound and prevent sound
propagation in the study area. The use of materials such as
marble, granite, glass and composite laminates (metal-like
materials) in building façade increases sound reflections
due to their smooth surface. With a greater number of
stations in a broader area, the pilot phase should be performed simultaneously in districts with old and new urban
fabrics in order to obtain a more accurate comparison
concerning the impact of civil architecture on the noise
pollution levels in urban areas. Here with we conclude that
hig rise building with structural members should get
change and constructed means we prevent the noise and
pollution through noise caused one.
