dc.description.abstract	The source of outdoor noise worldwide is mainly caused by machines, transport and transportation systems. Poor urban planning may give rise to noise pollution, side-by- side industrial and residential buildings can result in noise pollution in the areas that have hospitals. The patients go to the hospital for treatment, they need full rest and sound environment. But the hospitals that are situated near the highways fall victim to noise pollution. So the noise level in front of the hospitals need to be reduced. The main objective of the study is to Measure the noise conditions of hospitals adjacent to national highways. It also deals with the average value of the collected data which will be compared to the standard suggested value by different organizations. Four specific hospitals in front of Highways were chosen to collect data and four different times were chosen to collect data in different days of a week. T test analysis has been used for the analysis of the data. A device named Noise Level Meter has been used to collect data. In case of comparing the data among the hospitals there were no significant variation but in case of comparing among different times in a day there were several significant changes were observed. The study can compare the collected transportation induced average noise level with local as well as WHO suggested standard. This study also helps the policy makers and law enforcers to take necessary steps to reduce noise level.	en_US
