ABSTRACT
Growth in the commercialization, mobility and urbanization of human settlements across the globe has greatly exposed world urban population to potentially harmful traffic noise levels. The situation is more disturbing in developing countries like Nigeria, where there are no sacrosanct traffic noise laws and regulations. The use of GPS receiver to capture the geospatial data needed for modeling and the measurement of equivalent traffic noise level was carried out in 10 locations around the city in the morning and evening session using a CR811C integrated sound level meter. Multivariate analysis using Partial Eta was employed and spatial distribution maps of the traffic noise level were developed after four semivariogram models (stable, circular, spherical and exponential) were used to study the spatial distribution of traffic noise pollution of the study area.
