Abstract
Outdoor noise pollution is recognized as a significant environmental concern affecting the quality of life in urban areas worldwide. Among various noise sources, traffic remains one of the important sources of noise pollution. The primary objective of this study is to compare noise pollution in residential areas and urban green parks and analyze the extent of noise annoyance at different age groups in residential and green parks. The noise pollution is assessed using a Class I sound level meter, and a further questionnaire-based primary survey is conducted to analyze the noise annoyance. The findings of this study provide insights into the effectiveness of green parks in built environments and compare noise annoyance rates among different age groups. The results guide decision-makers in urban planning and environmental management, emphasizing the importance of green parks in built environments concerning various age groups
