It’s a big environmental as well as health hazards in many suburbs. There are different sorts of noise sources. Traffic noise is extremely effective within the center of cities especially in Dhaka city. This phenomenon has not been properly acquainted until it’s gradually growing in developing countries like Bangladesh. Now a day there are different studies to decrease the negative aspects of noise pollution on health of human being. The aim of this research is to work out the traffic noise in Dhaka city and to research possible solutions to scale back the traffic noise. Noise maps are one among these studies. These maps are a cartographic representation of the background level distribution during a determined area and period of your time peak (09.00 -11.00) and off peak (12.00-15.00) hour. The minimum and maximum noise density measured at the main road is 78.1 dB and 119.7 dB respectively in peak hour and 57.4 dB and 89.3 dB respectively in off peak hour.}, number={2}, publisher={Hüseyin AKBULUT}
