Abstract :
This study carried out aims to evaluate noise pollution in Oran province in Algeria (urban and industrial areas), and compares between noise pollution levels in both areas. Eventually, the noise is an integrated part in our environment; it makes actually a great challenge because of the dangerous health troubles it causes. Otherwise, a few studies were scientifically carried out on industrial noise in Algeria; but more and deeper researches are needed in order to determine its origins, sites measurements, noise mapping, and finally giving suggestions about the problem solving. Firstly, we‟ve divided this work into two parts; the first was about the urban area in Oran province where the population is exposed to all noise types especially road traffic noise. The second part concerning the industrial area where ahigher level of noise is observed, it skips the Algerian standard norms, and this noise pollution is mainly generated by machine engines. By a simple comparison between noise levels in both areas, we can observe that noise pollution is higher in the industrial areas than in the urban ones.
