Abstract

Evaluation and analysis of noise pollution levels have been carried out to determine the level of noise and its sources in Ilorin metropolis Noise measurements have been done in the morning at noon in the evening and at night to determine noise pollution all over the city The selected areas of study are commercial centers road junctions/busy roads passenger loading parks and highdensity and lowdensity residential areas The road junctions had the highest noise pollution levels followed by commercial centers The results of this study show that the noise levels in Ilorin metropolis exceeded allowed values at 30 of 42 measurements points There is a significant difference P  005 in the noise pollution levels and traffic noise index in all the locations From the measured noise values a map of noise pollution was developed for Ilorin Many solutions proposed for noise abatement in the city are set out
