Abstract: Transportation sector is one of the major contributors to the noise pollution in urban areas. The most important factors increasing noise pollution in urban areas are vehicular traffic, railway and air traffic. Increased noise levels induce stress, increase accident rates at workplace and stimulate aggression and other anti-social types of behavior. Honking is one of the major causes for noise pollution. This increase in noise pollution due to honking needs to be controlled effectively. We propose a method that can be implemented to reduce the impact of honking on noise pollution.
