According to the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules in India, the noise level in educational institutions during night time (10 pm to 6 am) must not exceed
A35 dB
B40 dB ✓ Correct
C45 dB
D50 dB
Correct answer: (B) 40 dB
Explanation
In silence zones such as educational institutions the night-time noise limit is 40 decibels.
The 35 decibel value falls below the prescribed silence-zone night limit.
The 45 decibel value applies to residential areas at night, not silence zones.
The 50 decibel value is the daytime limit for a silence zone.
Night time here runs from 10 pm to 6 am under these rules.
Silence zones also extend to areas near hospitals and courts.
