Urban IndiaSummary: With globalization, airports in India are increasing both in terms of numbers size and operations. Airplane noise is one of the major environmental issued due to airports. In this study, noise pollution is estimated using Noise model Noise exposure forecasting software) for Ahmadabad airport. The model uses the air traffic and operational data recorded by the airport for 2015-16. Model outputs are mapped in GIS to construct noise contours, which are then superimposed on the population density map to estimate the population exposed to high noise levels. In Ahmadabad, about 6.01 Lakah (11 percent) of the resident population is exposed to high noise levels, more that 60dB from air places. – Reproduced
