TRANSPORTATION NOISE SOURCES

THE NOISE GENERATED BY TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (AIRCRAFT, ROAD TRAFFIC, AND RAILROADS) IS INVESTIGATED. NOISE IS PRESENTED, NOT FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF A PASSENGER, BUT RATHER OF SOMEONE WHO IS EXPOSED TO THE NOISE OF THE PASSING VEHICLE. CHARACTERISTICS THAT DETERMINE URBAN NOISE EXPOSURE AND COMMUNITY ANNOYANCE ARE INCLUDED, AND MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS REVIEWED. CURRENT WORK AND FUTURE TECHNIQUES TO REDUCE TRANSPORTATION NOISE ARE DISCUSSED.
