TRAFFIC NOISE NEAR HIGHWAYS: TESTING AND EVALUATION

A TEST METHOD FOR MEASURING AND EVALUATING NOISE AT PROPERTIES ADJACENT TO HIGHWAYS IS DESCRIBED. ALSO PRESENTED IS A QUICK AND SIMPLE METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE NOISE REDUCTION OFFERED BY NOISE BARRIERS OF VARYING HEIGHT, FROM A CROSS SECTION AND BY USE OF A NOISE NOMOGRAPH, AS AN AID IN BARRIER DESIGN. EMPIRICAL VERIFICATION IS CITED UNDER PRECISE FIELD CONDITIONS.
