AB  - Population growth and the expansion of economic activities coupled with rapid urbanization have significantly exposed the global urban population to noise levels that can have detrimental effects on health. The problem is even more concerning in low-income countries such as Cameroon, where despite the existence of legislation against noise, its application is not respected. This study aims to analyze the entirety of Cameroonian acoustic legislation in order to promote its application. After collecting and analyzing data on the legal framework for noise in Cameroon and noise level measurements, the diagnosis of noise pollution conducted in the city of Yaoundé revealed that noise control legislation is not being respected, leading to an increase in noise levels exceeding the limit values recommended by the Standards and Quality Agency (ANOR) and the World Health Organization (WHO). In this context, it is essential that environmental management institutions implement actions to reduce noise pollution and ensure a peaceful environment.
