Noise pollution of the road network of the city by road transport

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of noise pollution of a residential area by road traffic. It is noted that car noise is a great danger to human health, especially in large cities and industrial centers. Field studies of the noise characteristics of traffic flows in busy, dangerous sections of the road network of a large city have been carried out. It is shown that the level of car noise exceeds the maximum permissible sound level for any measured value of the flow intensity and distance from the road up to 35 m. The dependence of noise on the parameters of traffic flows is studied, analytical dependences are obtained, and correlation and regression analyzes are carried out. Measures have been proposed to reduce the level of automobile noise in busy sections of the road network of a large city.
