The purpose of this article is to examine the amount of sound pollution in six key areas of Dehradun, a Himalayan district in Uttarakhand, India. The research is based on data collected in real time by the state's pollution control board during and before the Coronavirus triggered lockdown conditions. When data is analysed, it demonstrates that the city achieved serenity during lockdown conditions. The study also compares lockdown length noise data with one of the noisiest times of the year, namely during Deepawali, the celebration of lights and firecrackers. This report also makes an attempt to write a quick technical note on the detrimental consequences of noise pollution and strategies to reduce it through anthropogenic interventions.
