... the grid. 56 sampling points were established, in addition, four indicators where the averages for the city of Puno were the following: Lmin-74.72 ± 4.42 dB (A); Lmax-108.16 ± 6.18 dB (A); LApk-125.32 ± 9.36 dB (A) and LAeq-93.668 ± 5.29 dB (A) while, in the city of Juliaca were: Lmin-72.14 ± 4.56 dB (A); Lmax-104.83 ± 7.57 dB (A); LApk-122.48 ± 10.37 dB (A) and LAeq-90.443 ± 6.420 dB (A) where when comparing the indicators between the cities, there were statistically significant differences (p <0.05) according to the t-Student test. The maps adjusted to the J-Bessel model showed graphical coherence (p <0.05) for the LAeq of Puno and Juliaca. Prolonged exposure to cultural activities in the region were high where restriction is required during the hours of exposure.
