| Abstract: | Environmental noise pollution lowers the quality of life and is a public health concern in residential areas. In Minna, Nigeria, the effects of exposure to noise pollution on inhabitants' health and well-being were examined in this study. The indicated maximum limits for tolerable noise levels for quality of life in a home context were exceeded by the noise data measured using a sound level metre, a hand-held geographic positioning system, and a structured questionnaire (N = 880). The study recommended the design of noise-absorbing buildings, improved urban and infrastructure planning, and noise-regulating measures for a considerable increase in the quality of life of people |
