Traffic noise is an unwelcome byproduct of urbanization and motorization. Traffic noise has been the grave issue for residential, commercial and institutional areas of everywhere. Similarly, major cities of Pakistan (Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi and Faisalabad) are bombarded by the unpleasant sound every day from speed cars, heavy trucks, horns of all type of vehicles and deprived conditions of infrastructure. Road traffic noise in metropolitan, urban and sub urban areas of Pakistan is one of the  main public health issues of the present era. The prevalent condition in sub­ urban areas of Pakistan like Dadu-Moro cities are not far behind in comparison of traffic noise with other cities of Pakistan.

In this   study	noise  levels  and  other  characteristics  have been  measured  in  eight selected locations of Dadu-Moro cities and along with other eight places (colonies, library  schools, and hospital) for spatial mapping in the same cities. The predication of traffic noise levels was done by using computational model ArcGIS  10.1 version software,  which  provided  the  impact  of noise through  drawing contour  maps  of
identified places  of Dadu-Moro  cities  of Sindh Province.  In general,  Dadu  Road had maximum and minimum traffic noise levels were 101 dB (A) and 75 dB (A) and Moro roads had maximum and minimum noise levels 102 dB (A) and 73 dB (A)	. It was found  that  almost  the  level  of  noise  of  all  the  selected  location remains  respectively far above the  acceptable noise level. A cross- sectional study	pointed out a high existence of communication disturbance, headache, lack of concentration and hypertension during survey. This study suggests and recommends noise  in the shape of tree plantation and sustainable materials (glass, wood& steel absorption 
barriers) along roadsides for both citi s and along rail	a	lin	f Dadu	it . Publi
awareness may emerge to be the best techniqu	a  r	omm nd d b	th		r	pond nts. Nevertheless,  government and N	s	an play  an  imp  rtant  rol		in  th	useful
reduction of traffic noise
