Abstract

Because of its impact on hearing and other associated health conditions, noise pollution is an environmental problem. High levels of noise above normal limits cause hearing loss and other attendant problems. In Nigeria, the 'Mini Stadium' is known as the viewing center where football matches are watched via satellite. The noise pollution in this center was determined in this research. To do this, five top teams were chosen for the evaluation, each from the English Premier League (EPL), La Liga, Bundesliga, League 1, and Serie A. For the measurement, a sound level meter was used. The dBA noise concentration spectrum was as follows: EPL (56-108); La Liga (46-106); Bundesliga (54-102); Serie A (49-101); and Ligue 1 (54-101). Compared to the normal limits, the findings revealed that some of the results were above the limits, which means that viewers might be vulnerable to the problem of hearing. It is recommended that acoustic insulators and hearing aids have to be used to reduce the noise-related issues.
