A study shows, solid waste generation in Bangladesh during the last decade has increased enormously at an average annual rate of 8.96 percent while the solid waste management and hygienic disposal capacity of the municipal authorities is miserably legging

Over the past decades noise pollution has received increased attention and Studies has reported that noise pollution is one of the environmental hazard affecting human, the effects ranges from annoyance to difficulty in falling asleep, which latter leads to high blood pressure (WHO 2005; Ugwuanyi et al., 2005; Den Boer and Schroten 2007; Tetreault et al 2013 ). Although, noise pollution has been one of environmental concerns as early as the inception of civilization when man was introduced to technology
