Analisis Intensitas Kebisingan di Stasiun Kereta Api Tabing Kota Padang

This study examines the intensity of traffic noise at Tabing Station in Padang City and the mapping of its distribution pattern on holidays and weekdays. Increased transportation activities in the station area have the potential to cause noise disturbances that can affect the comfort and health of the surrounding community.
