During the final day of Ganesh Visarjan on September 17, noise levels in Mumbai reached a peak of 115 dB, slightly higher than last year's 114.7 dB, primarily due to loudspeakers and drums along the immersion route. Areas like Opera House and Bandra West recorded significant sound levels, with loudspeakers used for speeches continuing past midnight. In contrast, Pune saw a decrease in average noise levels, with measurements at 94.8 dB compared to 101.3 dB last year, attributed to police interventions. However, many monitored locations in Pune still exceeded the permissible noise limits of 80 dB, raising health concerns among residents and experts. The Eid-e-Milad celebrations reported lower noise levels, with a maximum of 101 dB recorded, which was quieter than the previous year. Overall, the Ganesh festival continues to raise issues regarding noise pollution and public health amidst festive celebrations.
