The
London Times described noise as the greatest scourge of contemporary life. Noise
consists of a persisted and uncontrollable sharp sound of noise more than 80 to
90 decibels. The increasing magnitude and complexity of society has brought
with it increased in noise to a degree that calls for programme to relieve
people of distress. Not all sound is objectionable, nor is all sound classed as
noise.

It is
estimated that 6-16million workers in USA work in noise surroundings that may
impair hearing. However, a study by the national physical laboratory indicated
that “the biggest source of noise for a person is vehicular traffic. A recent
survey in noise-prone industries (oil, textiles, and steel mills automobiles
industry and railway workshops) revealed a noise level of 92-102 decibels.
Industry noise ranging from 81-103 decibel numbs the efficiency of a worker
besides being injurious to his health. (Olojoba, 2009).
