Dataset on noise level measurement in Ota metropolis, Nigeria.

ABSTRACT: Datasets contained in this article are noise level measurement carried out at 41 different locations in Ota metropolis, Nigeria. The noise readings were measured at a time interval of 30 min for each site considered using a precision grade sound level meter. The analysis was based on the noise descriptors L_Aeq, L₁₀, L₉₀, L_D, TNI and NEI. Results from the study reflects that the highest and lowest equivalent noise levels (L_Aeq) were recorded at commercial areas (96 dB (A)) and residential areas (52 dB (A)), respectively, the background noise level (L₉₀) has the highest and lowest values at commercial areas (77 dB (A)) and residential areas (44 dB (A)), respectively and the peak value (L₁₀) has the highest value and
