Indoor as well as outdoor Leq in the households located in the study area revealed lower values during winter season as compared to summer season of first year as well as second year study period. The indoor Leq in Households exhibited higher values as compared to that of outdoor but both values exceeded the prescribed limits of noise level in the residential and commercial area but within the limits in industrial area.
