Evaluation and Analysis of Road Traffic Noise in Asansol: An Industrial Town of Eastern India
The objectives of the study were to monitor and assess the road traffic noise in its spatial-temporal aspect in an urban area. The paper discusses the observations, results and their interpretation based on the study. Noise recordings from site, collected from April 2006 to March 2006, were used for...
