In Pics| Top 10 noisiest cities in the world

The United Nations released a report titled ‘Frontiers 2022: Noise, Blazes and Mismatches’, that showed the top cities in the world with the highest noise levels. The study showed that the permissible noise level limits are 55 dB (decibels) for outdoor residential areas and 70 dB for commercial areas, and where there's traffic. However, these cities recorded the highest decibel levels which can increase the risk of hearing loss over a prolonged period. Here we list the top 10 cities with the highest decibel count.
