Abstract: Noise pollution from public trains in the metro impacts both children and adults daily, posing a challenge in their daily lives. Noise has an impact on the community’s psychological and physical well-being. The Philippine National Railways trains are an integral component of the daily lives of the city’s passengers. Trains are a popular means of transportation for commuters, as it is the best and only option to travel quickly and get to your destination. Because of the severe traffic circumstances and conditions of land transportation such as jeepneys, private vehicles, and others, Filipino commuters are significant respondents to the study.
