perception it has on the community of Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun, Ipoh. The
selected study area was delimited by traffic noise on the Raja Ashman Shah Road

both noise at 3 different measuring points within the study area. Measurements were
taken during the day (7am to 7pm) and at night (8pm-11.30pm) in order to establish
the noise around the hospital. The data have been analyzed using the Microsoft Excel

questionnaire was used to establish the perception of noise pollution on the
respondents. A 150 randomly chosen participants within the hospital community

was established that the noise surround the hospital are exceed the permissible noise
level limits based on Department of Environment Malaysia. Based on the result, the
