Abstract	Construction activities are the main cause of environmental noise pollution, particularly in rapidly urbanizing areas like the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR). This study aims to identify and investigate the primary sources of noise associated with construction activities, including material handling, drilling, vehicle movement, and machinery operation. A review of the literature and secondary data analysis form the basis of the study's qualitative methodology. The findings demonstrate that construction noise frequently exceeds permissible limits, with peak levels reaching 130 dB. The study also highlights the detrimental impacts on the environment and human health that are exacerbated when noise from multiple sources is combined. The report concludes with suggestions for useful noise reduction methods.
