The unwanted or disturbing sound is called as noise. This reported study shows noise quality of firing the crackers at “MhaswadYatraMahotsav- 2016”, which held every year at Mhaswad, Dist. Satara in Maharashtra. The noise level due to bursting of crackers is measured by using standard method. For present study ten different sites were selected as noise monitoring sites on “Palakhi Marg” and noise of crackers was noted at ten different timings with the interval of half an hour in each recording. The result concluded that, in the residential zone and silence zone at night condition, the noise level exceeded the prescribed standard level of 65 dB as per the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000. In the present study, the average noise level at all the recorded timings was found to be above the prescribed limits of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
