ALL ABOUT TRUCK NOISE

THE SOURCES AND MEASUREMENT OF NOISE ASSOCIATED WITH TRUCKS ARE DESCRIBED. COASTING TESTS SHOW THAT A LARGE TRUCK-TRAILER COMBINATION WILL PRODUCE A NOISE LEVEL OF 10 TO 15 DB HIGHER THAN A PASSENGER CAR BECAUSE OF THE INCREASED AREA OF THE TIRE-ROADWAY CONTACT. NOISE LEGISLATION AT THE LOCAL AND STATE LEVEL IS REVIEWED, WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE CALIFORNIA CODE. REQUIREMENTS FOR NOISE LIMITS FOR THE CERTIFICATION OF NEW CARS, TRUCKS AND BUSES ARE NOW BEING PROPOSED. /AUTHOR/
