Geotechnologies application in noise mapping consists in a powerful tool to visualize and understand the sound distribution in a specific area. This research was done at the city of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, in an area of approximately 18 ha, where there are industries, residences, animal breeding and an avenue. Sound level pressures were explored, semivariografic analysis were done and noise maps were developed using kriging, that demonstrated to be appropriated, since that the collected data were representative and the sampling points coherent with the situation that needed to be evaluated. The noise maps permitted to identify the most critical regions, the sources and their influence areas, as verify where the normative limit values for sound pressure exceed.
