Abstract

To establish noise pollution levels in El Mansoura, Egypt during 2023, the current study utilizes all around acoustic data acquired from May to December. Concerning noise control in urban areas, the study focuses on change over time, environmental conditions, as well as legal requirements. The analysis of the 1465 measurements provided the following results: Mean equivalent sound pressure level of 81.73 dB That exceeded the recommended level by 10 dB; 95.9% of all the measurements exceeded regulatory levels. Crosstabulation tests further revealed the influences of noise pollution by vehicle count, types of road and time of day. Midday had the highest noise level at 96.62 and the least at night at 61.31. Density zones and areas with high traffic revealed the highest noise pollution. In proving its findings, the study shows that noise pollution is a serious issue in El Mansoura and offers practical suggestions for acoustic control, urban development guidelines, and improved legislation to enhance the quality of the acoustic environment and ultimately the health standards within the city.
