Abstract

Noise pollution during Diwali festivities in India has emerged as a serious concern, affecting public health and the environment. This study proposes an AI-driven framework that integrates deep learning, reinforcement learning, and geospatial analysis to forecast and optimize noise levels during Diwali. Using Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data from 2018–2020 across multiple locations, we developed a neural network model for noise prediction and further optimized its performance using the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm. The predictive model achieved high accuracy with an R2 score of 0.9921, along with low RMSE and MAE values, demonstrating robust forecasting ability. Reinforcement learning enhanced the stability and adaptability of predictions, while geospatial modeling identified critical noise hotspots. The results indicate that AI-based methods can significantly aid policymakers and urban planners in devising effective noise control strategies, thereby promoting environmental sustainability and public health during large-scale festive events.
