The research results show that the noise level on Jl. The average Mahir Mahar that occurs is 72.59 dBa, the 10 m point is 68.59 dBa, the 20 m point is 67.57 dBa, the 30 m point is 66.37 dBa, the 40 m point is 65.76 dBa, the 50 m point is 63.15 dBa, the average noise calculation results exceed the quality standards of Ministerial Decree No.48/MENLH/1 1/1996, namely office, trade and residential areas, namely 65 -55 dB with the highest average influence of traffic volume and noise (Leq) in the form of the best correlation equation value, namely linear correlation with an equation of 38.14%. Natural and artificial noise reduction methods, treatment can be in the form of creating artificial barriers and natural barriers such as Ryco Prawira Purba, Muhammad Arsyad https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJCIET 99 editor@iaeme.com planting trees, have a value of 10 m point of 61.59 dBa, 20 m point of 59.57 dBa, 30 m point of 51.37 dBa, 40 m point of 49.76 dBa, and 50 m point of 46.51 dBa, so that with this method the average noise that occurs on roads outside the city, the dowry expert receives treatment and the value is below the quality standard, namely below 65 dB (Ministerial Decree No.48/MENLH/1 1/1996)
