The purpose of the present study is to find out the Noise Effect on Short Term Memory among Traffic Personnel. It was hypothesized that, (i) There will be significant difference between high noise (high db) and low noise (low db) among Short Term Memory (ii) There will be no significant difference between male and female traffic personnel among Short Term Memory. The Sample (n = 40) for this study consisted traffic personnel in Sangli and Kolhapur districts. Data was collected through Short Term Memory scale and Sound Meter application. Obtained data analyzed by student 't' test. Result reveled that, (i) there are strongly differ on high noise and low noise among Short Term Memory and (ii) there are no difference between male and female traffic personnel among Short Term Memory. That means both hypotheses was accepted.
