THE PRESENT STUDY EXAMINES NOISE POLLUTION MONITORING IN URBAN AREAS OF THE CITY OF POTENZA. DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROAD AND DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY WERE STUDIED, IN ORDER, FIRST, TO ESTABLISH THE RATE OF POLLUTION REACHED WITH RESPECT TO THE LIMITS LAID DOWN BY LAW AND SECOND, TO MAKE COMPARISONS BETWEEN THE VARIOUS NOISE PREDICTION MODELS FOUND IN TODAY'S LITERATURE. THE FINDINGS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE VARIOUS MODELS GAVE RISE TO SOME USEFUL INDICATIONS FOR THE FINAL DEFINITION AND PROPOSAL OF A NOISE PREDICTION MODEL CALIBRATED FOR THE CITY OF POTENZA.
