Extreme environmental noise beyond 65 dB can be adverse to human health, living comfort and I the environment itself. In a university environment, student activities will be less disrupted if the I locations of the activities are sufficiently away from noise sources. Less study had been done in I noise pollution subject around Malaysia recently especially in university which needs less noise for I students to be concentrated and hospital area which requires peaceful surroundings in order I patients to be recovered.
The objective of this study was to determine the level of noise pollution in the National I University of Malaysia. We conducted the study in dental faculty regarding more noise in a dental I laboratory and the location of the faculty itself which is surrounded by Hospital Kuala Lumpur I complex. Questionnaires were distributed to 170 participants from convenient sampling selected I students (128 undergraduate students and 42 postgraduate students) in faculty of dentistry, I National University of Malaysia, KL Campus.
From the study, we found that 96.5% of the students in dental faculty UKM KL campus I experiencing noise pollution mostly at the time between 10 am until 2 pm (65.3%). But it was I detected as low noise according to 84.7% participants. Since the vehicle is the first causes of noise I pollution that we found in this campus area, so in the future may need new regulations in term of I vehicle limitations.

Introduction
Noise pollution is a harmful noise in the environment which isannoying and disturbing people in their daily life activity. Normal people can bear the noise up to the certain limit (80 decibels) and it may damage the nerves directly if it exceeds that limitation.
Here are the examples of noise pollution, (a) the noise of traffic near some hospitals which may physically and mentally disturb the patients in the hospital, (b) the noise of machines used for weaving, ginning etc. which annoy workers. Such noise is harmful to the workers and could cause hearing loss problems. Another definition of noise pollution is any noise which distracts someone's attention from...

Case Spotlight: Noisy Nightmare Neighbours
by Donovan & Ho (BD) | October 26, 2020 | Dispute Resolution
- Print Friendly
The Covid-19 pandemic has kept most of us at home, most of the time. During the Movement Control Order in place earlier in the year, many renovations and/or construction were also halted. It is therefore no surprise that some may be experiencing increased levels of noise from their neighbours, including renovation noise.
For those who may be wondering about their rights when it comes to putting up with excessive levels of noise, the Court of Appeal decision in Chin Moy Yen & Ors v Chai Weng Sing & ors [2019] MLJU 681 on the tort of nuisance is worth looking into.
Brief facts
A family of 7 (“ the Chans ”) residing at the Flora Green Condominium (located near Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman) commenced action against the past and (then) present proprietors of 3 adjacent units directly above the Chans’ unit (“ Units ”).
The Chans’ case is that the Units were illegally renovated without proper approval from the authorities. The Units were partitioned and turned into student accommodations, with each unit renovated to extend the number of occupants to twice the usual amount.
These renovations went on frequently throughout the night and in the early hours of the morning. The renovations also caused physical damage to the Chans’ unit (cracks on the walls and ceiling, water leakage etc), and caused excessive noise and vibrations. The student tenants which later moved into the Units further contributed to the noise.
The management corporation of Flora Green Condominium were also named as a defendant for failing to discharge its duties and responsibilities as a management corporation under the Strata Management Act 2013.
Decision of the Court
The High Court dismissed the Chans’ claim finding that it was not proven. The High Court Judge found that there was not enough evidence of nuisance or trespass and held the registered owner/landlord, having not participated in any alleged act of nuisance, cannot be liable for any nuisance created by the tenants.
On appeal, the Court of Appeal reversed the decision of the High Court holding, amongst others:
- The renovations which caused water seepage or sewage effluent flowing from the Units as well as cracks to the walls in Chans’ units amounted to trespass
- The allegation of nuisance by reason of noise and disturbance generated by the activities of the occupants were corroborated by multiple police reports, warning notices issued by the local authorities and complaint emails by other residents to the management corporation. There is no necessity to prove by way of scientific or technical evidence that the noise generated was beyond tolerable levels
- Testimonies of 22 witnesses also confirmed the noise nuisance. One neighbour gave the following evidence:
“ overcrowded with students … and the students create a lot of noise and there were renovation noises as well ” “ sounded like dragging of furniture or something very heavy that fell on the floor late at night until early in the morning ” “ noise was loud enough to wake my wife and I up from our sleep ” “ noises I heard from C-P-1 were very loud ”
- The complaints were not imagined but were real; the noise and nuisance created not just by the renovations but by the residents in the Units were of such volume, intensity, persistence or regularity that by any reasonable standard this would be considered a nuisance
- Regard is given to the type of residence (namely, residential condominium)
- The proprietors/landlords of the Units though were not participants of the acts of nuisance by its tenants, were fully aware of the nuisance complained of and had taken no steps whatsoever to stop and/or reduce the complained nuisance. Therefore, the proprietor/landlord was liable for the nuisance created by their authorised tenants
- The statutory regime established under inter alia the Strata Management Act 2013 and the Regulations, Bylaws and House Rules enacted or passed under the Act bind all parties. The 3rd Schedule of the Regulations made under the 2013 Act, provides that residents “ shall not use or permit to be used his parcel in such a manner or for such a purpose as to cause nuisance or danger to any other proprietor or the families of such proprietor ”; “ or to use their respective parcels contrary to the terms of use. ” The effect of these statutory provisions is to recognize the common law duty of care with regard to neighbours in communal living, casting on all owners including the management corporation, the duty and responsibility of ensuring that there is no nuisance
- Ultimately, the Chans were awarded RM 80,000.00 in damages:
- RM 50,000 to be paid by the 1st respondent, who owned all the Units at different points in time;
- RM 20,000 to be paid by the 2nd to 4th respondents, who were the other proprietors of the Units;
- RM 10,000 to be paid by the 5th respondent, the management corporation of Flora Green Condominium
Key Takeaways
The decision is a good reminder that:
- As neighbours, whilst some level of noise is expected, there is a limit. Consideration for others must be practiced even when using and enjoying your own home.
- As landlords, liability is not absolved simply because the tort is committed or caused by third parties (namely, the tenants).
- As the joint management body or management corporation, mere investigations and taking steps to resolve complaints (or in other words, not completely ignoring or neglecting the complaints) is insufficient. There is a duty and responsibility to uphold the Regulations, Bylaws and House Rules enacted.

In this study, the effects of aircraft noise on the residents living nearby Sultan Ismail Petra Airport, Kelantan, Malaysia, were investigated. A questionnaire survey involving 60 participants revealed that 46.67% agreed that aircraft noise is a source of disturbance in their daily routine. On-site noise level measurements were carried out over a 2-week period at seven locations (P1–P7) surrounding the airport, where each location represents a different distance from the noise source. The daily average noise levels were within 50–65 dB(A), which exceeded the World Health Organization's recommended maximum indoor noise level and recommended maximum outdoor noise level of 35 and 55 dB(A), respectively. However, the daily average noise levels were lower than permissible exposure limit of 90 dB(A). Based on the results, it can be concluded that exposure to the aircraft noise may affect the quality of life of nearby residents in the long term.

Yusof and Sarip, Shamsul and Ismail, Zarini (2017) Journal of Advanced Research Design, 31 (1). pp. 9-16. ISSN 2289-7984 Official URL: http://www.akademiabaru.com/doc/ARDV31_N1_P9_16.pd... The construction industry is one of the major sectors in Malaysia. Apart from providing facilities, services and goods it also offers employment opportunities to local and foreign workers. In fact, the construction workers are exposed to high risk of noises being generated from various sources including excavators, bulldozers, concrete mixer and piling machines. Previous studies indicated that the piling and concrete work were recorded as the main source that contributed to the highest level of noise among others. Therefore, the aim of this study is to obtain the level of noise exposure during piling process and to determine the awareness of workers against noise pollution at the construction site. Initially, the reading of noise level was obtained at construction site by using a digital sound level meter (SLM) and noise exposure to the workers was mapped. Readings were taken from four different distances; 5, 10, 15 and 20 meters from the piling machine. Furthermore, a set of questionnaire was also distributed to assess the knowledge of regarding noise pollution at the construction site. The result showed that the mean noise level at 5 meters distance was more than 90 dB, which exceeded the recommended level. Although the level of awareness of regarding the effect of noise pollution is satisfactory but majority of workers (90%) still did not wear ear muffs during working periods. Therefore, the safety module guidelines related to noise pollution controls should be implemented to provide a safe working environment and prevent initial occupational hearing loss.

 Sound Pollution issues and mitigate measure, Case Study : Taman melati, Gombak, KL Related PapersIn recent years, noise pollution has become the burning question of the day and the hot topic of discussion among the researchers all over the world. Every day, we have to experience varied levels of sound in our environment; we can have the sounds from television and radio, household appliances and traffic. But, noise that is long-lasting or lasts for a short period can equally be detrimental to our health. According to a recent research, road traffic and aircraft noise increase the risk of high blood pressure, especially noise exposure at night. Here, aircraft noise was associated with increased risks of hospital admission and death for stroke, coronary heart disease, and cardiovascular disease in the nearby area. Another study reports that aircraft noise exposure over a much longer time period of 15 years shows that deaths from heart attacks has increased when the noise will be louder and endure over a longer period of time. The latest estimates suggest a ten decibel average increase in aircraft noise exposure is related to an increase in high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes of between 7% and 17%. Generally, music enthusiasts think that intermittent noise is not hazardous. But is it true? Health experts define that even intermittent noise also has a negative impact on human hearing in the long run. Common sources of noise include vehicular traffic, factories involved in the manufacturing process, and home appliances like vacuum cleaners and music systems. Noise pollution may lead to human health hazards; it creates a number of physical and mental ailments and so, the impact of noise on human health is a matter of great concern to the common people. Noise pollution can affect us in several ways.  Karen N. Scott Atiq Mohammad Noise pollution, often regarded as a silent menace amidst the clamor of more conspicuous environmental concerns, is a pervasive and escalating issue with profound implications for humanity and the natural world. This comprehensive review paper delves into the multifaceted realm of noise pollution, encompassing its diverse causes, far-reaching effects, and the array of strategies deployed to mitigate its adverse consequences. Within this paper, we embark on an exploration that begins by scrutinizing the intricate tapestry of noise pollution's origins. We dissect the urban sprawl and infrastructure development that spawns construction-related tumult, the transportation networks that propagate incessant road, air, and rail noise, and the industrial activities that generate relentless auditory dissonance. These sources collectively converge to create a symphony of cacophony that increasingly defines modern existence. The effects of noise pollution extend beyond mere annoyance. We scrutinize its deleterious impact on human health, from sleep disturbances and cardiovascular diseases to cognitive impairments and stress-related disorders. We unravel the psychological ramifications, including reduced cognitive performance, annoyance, and social isolation. Furthermore, we delve into its insidious intrusion into the natural world, disrupting wildlife behavior, habitats, and reproductive success. Noise pollution also exerts socioeconomic repercussions, diminishing property values and impairing learning environments. Mitigation strategies emerge as our beacon of hope. Regulatory measures, noise barriers, urban planning, technological innovations, public awareness campaigns, and international cooperation collectively form our arsenal in the battle against noise pollution. By recognizing noise pollution as an environmental challenge with profound ramifications and by collectively deploying these strategies, we aspire to cultivate a quieter, healthier, and more harmonious world for present and future generations, echoing a harmonious symphony of coexistence amidst the urban bustle. Aliza Sultana Background: Sound pollution has been emerging as a leading nuisance for urban dwellers all over the world. This study was conducted in some busiest traffic junctions of the Khulna metropolitan city of Bangladesh to reveal the impact of sound pollution on urban dwellers. Methods: The questionnaire survey was conducted using a probability selective sampling procedure and different age groups of respondents were chosen from the five busiest traffic junctures. The necessary associations were discovered using ross-tabulation, Pearson's Chi-square with Cramer's V coefficient, and binary logistic regression analysis. Results: Maximum respondents (95%) were found to be affected by several health issues (physical and psychological) due to the current level of road-traffic sound pollution. During the daytime, 98% of respondents claimed the high density of vehicles as a key factor. Meanwhile, 92% of them marked the buses [(χ 2 (2, n=140)=27.404, p<.0.001) with Cramer's V coefficient of 0.44] as the most sound generating source. The respondents spending more time in the noisy places were found to have approximately 1.354, 1.311, and 1.221times higher risk of hypertension, bad temperament, and irregular heartbeat problems, respectively than those who did not report. Notably, hearing loss issues were significantly more common among respondents from various age groups [odds ratio (OR): 1.045, 95% CI: 1.012-1.079]. Conclusion: Traffic sound pollution is harmful to human health. This study suggests that increasing awareness among people along with taking administrative measures would be effective to diminish the sound pollution problem. aroj bashir Environment pollution is a major problem of the world and it is mainly influence to the health of human, animals and ecosystem. This paper provides the brief view about the affects of noise as environment pollution in the perspective of noise pollution on human by diseases and problems among living organisms. Study finds that these kinds of pollutions are not only seriously affecting the human by diseases and problems but also the biodiversity. Still time left in the hands of worlds institutions, local bodies and government to use the advance resources to balance the environment .With the promotion of science and technology at a unique tempo, the urban points of the world have evolved not just in size but also in terms of the living situation. This brings about new awareness about the noise pollution, which is the part of our day-to-day lives. It is conducted by studies that trace the amount of damage caused by the noise from various natural as well as anthropogenic sources, especially traffic. Noise is associated with the physical, mental, emotional and psychological to all the individuals be it human beings or even animals. This is a potential risk to the requirements of sound living conditions and needs to be checked at judicial level.
