Current Situation: Mirpur 1 records noise levels of 97 decibels, which is dangerously high compared to safe standards.

What This Means:

• WHO recommended safe limit: 45 decibels
• Dhaka's official limit: 60 decibels
• Mirpur 1 actual level: 97 decibels
• Result: Harmful to health

Where It Ranks: Among Dhaka areas, Mirpur 1 falls in the middle - quieter than busy commercial zones like Farmgate but much louder than upscale residential areas like Gulshan.

Why So Noisy: Traffic is the main culprit (causes 80% of Dhaka's noise pollution), plus ongoing construction and general urban chaos.

Health Concerns: At 97 decibels, residents face risks of hearing damage, heart problems, and stress-related issues.

The Big Picture: Mirpur 1 suffers from typical Dhaka noise pollution - it's a planned residential area but still can't escape the city's overall noise crisis.

For Residents: If you live there, expect constant noise. It's not the worst area in Dhaka, but it's still far from peaceful.
