Any unintended presence of matter or energy in the environment is known as pollution. Noise pollution is one of the pollutions which have its critical effect on the health of existing population. From researches it has been proved that noise may damage human hearing efficiency and neuron cells of brain. Realising that noise pollution is one of the problems of north-east India; I focused to develop some ecofriendly control devices, for the mitigation from noise pollution. To develop a device it needs some data, which is collected from densely populated area of North-East Indian city Gorakhpur which lies between Latitude 26°13′N and 27°29′N and Longitude 83°05′E and 83°56′E. The district occupies the north-eastern corner of the state and has geographical Area 3,321 km2 with Total Population (2011) 4,436,275. Due to rapid industrializations and increasing population of the city, it has an exponential growth in number of vehicles and generator sets, which is the basic cause of noise. The population is facing the problem of noise pollution during the travelling hours from 8:00 am till 9:00 pm as studied in survey of the city. In this paper there are some solutions for the noise pollution, through eco-friendly control devices which are designed for the vibration control, which is one of the major causes of generating noise pollution.
