Noise pollution is a growing concern in urban environments, significantly impacting residents’ health and well-being. Extensive research has highlighted the detrimental effects of exposure to higher noise levels for a longer period of time, linking it to cardiovascular issues, sleep disturbances, and increased stress (Hänninen et al. 2014). Noise pollution in urban areas arises from different sources such as transportation which mainly include road traffic, railways, and aircraft, various industrial activities, and different recreational events (Bala and Verma 2020). The WHO Environmental Noise Guidelines for the European Region highlight that the main contributors to urban noise pollution are road traffic, followed by railway and aircraft noise, which collectively impact millions of people (Jarosińska et al. 2018). India has seen a dramatic rise in traffic over recent decades, with a significant surge in the number of motor vehicles. This increase has resulted in severe congestion and pollution in urban areas. Factors such as rising personal incomes and the growing desire for enhanced mobility and convenience have fueled this growth (Mehta 2011). The resulting surge in traffic imposes tremendous pressure on the existing infrastructure, leading to frequent traffic jams and prolonged travel times. Additionally, the increased traffic has significantly elevated noise levels, contributing to heightened annoyance and stress among urban communities​, leading to widespread annoyance among residents (Schreckenberg et al. 2010). Julie Méline et al. (2013) reported that individuals exposed to higher levels of road traffic noise experienced greater levels of annoyance, even after considering socioeconomic factors (Méline et al. 2013). Noise annoyance characterized by negative reactions such as displeasure, disturbance, and stress can escalate into severe health issues like anxiety, depression, and cardiovascular problems (Gilani and Mir 2021). Persistent noise disturbance disrupts daily activities and sleep, compounding stress. These disturbances often result in chronic stress responses, affecting both mental and physical health over time. Studies indicate that individuals exposed to higher traffic noise levels report greater annoyance and are more likely to develop health issues related to prolonged stress and disturbed sleep patterns (Kroesen et al. 2008; Emin and Uslu 2015).
