EXTERIOR VEHICLE NOISE AND ITS EFFECTS; A SURVEY OF RESEARCH ON EXTERIOR VEHICLE NOISE, TRAFFIC NOISE, AND THE EFFECTS OF NOISE ON PEOPLE

This report surveys existing research knowledge pertinent to the problem of establishing a rational for exterior vehicle noise standards. In the analysis of the overall problem, it reviews the three main subject areas of vehicle noise, traffic noise and the effects of traffic noise on people. A large bibliography of over 2,000 references was compiled and most of these references have been specifically referred to in the report. In the final analysis, it identifies the steps involved in arriving at a rationale for future exterior vehicle noise levels and determines those areas where further research is required to enable quantitative noise level criteria to be precisely established. /Author/
