pointed out that excessive noise causes high blood pressure, heart disease, and headache. stated that excessive noise affects hearing loss. Bozkurt and Demirkale stated that environmental noise can significantly affect public health and have a remarkable impact on human activities. stated that in recent years, many researchers aimed at noise reduction to avoid various adverse health effects such as sleep disturbance, discomfort, cardiovascular effects, learning impairment, and hypertension. reported that noise exposure can cause hearing problems, hypertension, heart disease, and sleep disturbances. The World Health Organization states that noise is effective on sleep, has cardiovascular and metabolic effects, is effective on cognitive impairment, and is effective on hearing loss and tinnitus. stated that noise negatively affects public health. , survey analyses were done, and according to the survey results, it was stated that most of the participants exposed to the noise experienced headaches, sleeplessness, hypertension, and stress. The negative effects of environmental noise on human health are frequently encountered in literature studies. The main psychological effects of noise are nervousness, fear, discomfort, anxiety, fatigue, slow mental activity, and a decrease in work efficiency. The major physiological effects caused by noise are muscle strains, stress, increased blood pressure, changes in heart rate and blood circulation, dilated pupils, and sleeplessness. Exposure to excessive noise can cause hearing loss and excessive noise can negatively affect human health not only physiologically but also psychologically. The World Health Organization states that noise is the second largest environmental cause of health problems. Control of environmental noise has great importance in terms of human health as well as providing auditory comfort conditions. In the twenty-first century, with the developing urbanization and industry, environmental noise problems have started to emerge more frequently. In this regard, this paper gives information on industrial noise mapping and industrial noise control at the urban scale.ДЄt the urban scale, environmental noise should be kept under control to provide auditory comfort conditions. Improvement methods that reduce excessive noise in living spaces are clarified and it was explained how the improvement of environmental quality can be acquired. It was mentioned that the regions exposed to excessive noise should be defined according to the strategic noise map and improvement plans should be performed. The preparation of the industrial noise mapping process was explained in detail. Besides this, what type of factors are effective in the industrial noise mapping process were defined, and important basic parameters, which are essential in the industrial noise mapping, were detailed. In this study, the strategic noise mapping process related to industrial activities in a line with the Environmental Noise Directive (END) was clarified.

This paper aims to explain industrial noise control at urban and building scales. In this respect, it is required that industrial noise should be kept under control and healthy living spaces should be obtained in residential areas.

Environmental noise control is necessary for human health and auditory comfort conditions.
