Abstract
Noise is an old problem and still exists to the present time as it affects human health directly and indirectly. Noise pollution is considered a disease of the era suffered by the inhabitants of cities, especially urban cities and developed countries that are characterized by a high standard of living. In this study, noise sources were identified in the city of Hit, and these sources were (generator noise and commercial areas noise). The noise intensity of these sources was measured for all neighborhoods of the city. Heat at specific points (2,3,5) meters from the noise source, according to the type of source, and a period of time (2) minutes. The noise was measured at the specified points (5) times, and the average was taken for these points. The highest level of noise intensity emanating from electric generators was (107dB), which is higher than the local and global determinants of noise intensity, due to the large presence of generators within the residential neighborhoods of the city of Heat, and the non-compliance of generator owners to the specified distance between the generator and the residential homes, as well as the large size of their engines and the lack of use of silencers. the sound . The noise of the commercial areas was less intense than that of the generators, and the highest value of the noise intensity was in the Al-Jamiya neighborhood market, and its value was (84.5dB).
