Evaluation of the environmental noise profile in the centralcampus area of Nigde Ömer Halisdemir University

When environmental pollution is mentioned, the first things that come to mind for people are water, air, and soil pollution. However, are there not other forms of pollution that can be added to these, which are noticed when seen, touched, smelled, or tasted? Noise pollution, perceived through the sense of hearing, is equally important as other forms of pollution. Just as waterborne diseases threaten the health of all living beings, noise pollution can also threaten the physical and psychological well-being of all living beings. The reasons for choosing the campus area in this study include the interconnection of classrooms, study offices, student dormitories, and social areas within the campus. In environments where sensitivities to noise vary, the determination of vehicle noise levels and whether or not precautions should be taken will be examined. In this study, prepared for these purposes, a comprehensive literature review has been conducted, examining studies conducted, especially on campuses, aiming to understand noise and sensitivities to noise in our country. Studies conducted globally on these topics have been reviewed and compiled.
