Noise pollution is displeasing human, animal or machine created sound that disturbs the activity or balance ofhuman and animal life. Vadodara is the 3rd largest city of Gujarat after Surat and Ahmadabad having estimated populationof 18 lakhs .Due to increasing population and industrialization, the transportation in the city has increased to un-imaginaryhighs and causes want of efficient mass transfer system. The increased vehicular numbers on existing roads has considerablypushed traffic to create noise that adversely affects the human beings and living creatures. In the present study efforts weremade to study the noise levels at different locations by using sound level meter so that the negative aspects of harsh soundcan be mitigated. The collected datas were analyzed to know the traffic behavior and characteristics of various roads andlocation of the Vadodara city like hospitals, school, library, office's and residences etc. and then the maximum noise levelwas estimated. Also mitigation measures were given to prevent the noise pollution to some extent.
