abstract = "This paper highlights a systematic procedure to evaluate the impact of noise on an iron ore mining residential complex. The Ldn values for almost all the residential, commercial and sensitive
areas were found exceeding the noise standards. The type IV Double storied colony near tertiary crushing plant revealed maximum percentage of highly dissatisfied person (45.71 percent) with maximum Ldn
values [69.7 dB(A)]. Similarly, Nehru colony was found to have minimum percentage of dissatisfied population (8.61 percent) with minimum Ldn
values [54.8 dB(A)]. The noise impact assessment was carried out by comparing the existing index with the indicative index value. The existing index and indicative index were calculated on the
basis of the existing noise levels and the permissible noise levels respectively. The noise stress of the settlements appears to be quite high as the existing noise impact index (0.19) was found much higher than that of the indicative noise impact index (0.083).",
