Abstract: Noise pollution has increased dramatically in recent decades as a result of growing industrialisation, and people are becoming more aware of the problem. The goal of the study is to identify the harmful noise issue in the industrial sector, where employees work eight hours a day in heated environments. Furthermore, the follow-up study may provide a good picture of varied noisy environments, such as an automobile workshop, the textile industry, and a small industry, allowing them to assess the impact of noise on their hearing conditions. A quick study was conducted at the working areas of the various companies to categorise the health concerns related to noise pollution in the area surrounding Bhubaneswar, Odisha. This study used three distinct kinds of questionnaires to examine health-related issues at the individual and workplace levels. According to experimental and survey studies, a large portion of the population appears to have issues with disturbed sleep, absent minds, an increase in hypertension with another specific cardiovascular illness observed.
