At present, many assessments have been done regarding the environmental noise on many places to determine the noise level and ways to prevent the noise pollution. Batu Berendam Industrial Estate, Melaka is a well-developed industrial region but however, has never undergo any noise assessments. As such, introduction of the in-situ measurement to evaluate noise in the region is deemed necessary in order to determine the criticality of the noise level in the estate. Therefore, this study focuses on assessing environmental noise pollution from Batu berendam Industrial Estate, Melaka by using statistical approach. The survey and noise data collection were covering half of Batu Berendam Industrial Estate in 50 different points of by using sound pressure meter. Noise collected were rearranged, tabulated and characterized by using Microsoft Excel. The result of analysis and characterization shows the highest environmental noise recorded is 88.7 dB(A) and the lowest is 54.3 dB(A). The noise factors are categorized into 5 main types which are Electronics, Offices, Manufacturing, Constructions and Others. The Constructions site is identified as the most polluted region by environmental noise and the Offices are the safest region from being polluted by environmental noise. Thus, it can be concluded that the noise maps of Batu Berendam Industrial Estate, Melaka, has successfully been produced based on the characterized and calculated noises by using statistical approached.
