THE FUTURE TRANSPORTATION NOISE ENVIRONMENT IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

An investigation is conducted regarding the future trends in aircraft noise. The feelings of people about aircraft noise are examined and a generalized cure of serious noise nusance is established. Approaches for reducing the noise at the airport are considered, taking into account the cost factors involved. Questions concerned road transport noise are also investigated. It is pointed out that in the case of the existing urban communities approaches for quieting the motor vehicle constitute the only solution of noise annoyance problems.
