Hypertension and Road Traffic Noise Exposure
Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine, 2007The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between road traffic noise exposure at home and the prevalence of hypertension.We conducted cross-sectional analyses in a large random sample (N=40,856) of inhabitants of Groningen City, and in a subsample (the Prevention of Renal and Vascular End-Stage Disease [PREVEND]) study cohort; N=8592 ...

Road traffic noise annoyance in Amsterdam
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 19853445 persons living in Amsterdam (1507 male and 1938 female), aged 41-43 years, participated in an investigation in which the relationship was studied between the (measured) road traffic noise in front of the houses in which the participants lived, and the (reported) resulting annoyance and sleep disturbance.

Road traffic noise: self-reported noise annoyance versus GIS modelled road traffic noise exposure
Journal of Environmental Monitoring, 2011self-reported road traffic noise annoyance is commonly used in epidemiological studies for assessment of potential health effects. Alternatively, some studies have used geographic information system (GIS) modelled exposure to road traffic noise as an objective parameter. The aim of this study was to analyse the association between noise exposure due to

Road traffic noise, noise sensitivity and psychological disorder
Psychological Medicine, 1993SynopsisThe relationship between traffic noise exposure and psychological morbidity was assessed using the population-based Caerphilly Collaborative Survey of 2398 men from Caerphilly, South Wales. The findings showed that traffic noise exposure levels were strongly associated with annoyance to noise.

The reflection of road traffic noise
Journal of Sound and Vibration, 1983Abstract In the U.K. prediction method for L 10 noise levels from road traffic single figure corrections are used to allow for the effects of reflecting facades. In this paper, simple expressions are proposed as improved corrections. These are derived for facades lying parallel to the road by using geometrical reflection theory and the equations ...

Assessment of Traffic Noise Pollution due to Road Traffic
Advances in Science and Technology, 2021The paper presents aspects related to noise pollution due to road traffic in Drobeta Turnu Severin. The main noise sources in Drobeta Turnu Severin are: road transport, railway and industrial activities. Based on the noise level measurement performed to assess the traffic noise over a period of 7 years, namely between 2013 and 2019, on an important ...

Reviews of Physics in Technology, 1972
Following the publication of the Wilson report in 1963 much attention has been drawn to solving problems connected with road traffic noise. In this article the relevant noise level standards are described and the phenomenon of noise from individual vehicles and taffic as a whole is discussed.

ROAD TRAFFIC NOISE INFLUENCED BY ROAD BUMPS
Journal of Sound and Vibration, 2002Noise levels from different kinds of vehicles were measured on streets close to road bumps. In comparison with free flowing traffic, the acceleration after road bumps increased peak noise levels from 1 to 13 dB (A) max. Although the results are of a pilot nature, it is suggested that noise consequences should be included in the planning of road bumps.

Statistics of road traffic noise
Journal of Sound and Vibration, 1971Abstract Freely flowing traffic is modeled by randomly distributed sources on a line. Statistical parameters of the noise emitted from point sources of equal strength are derived in terms of the cumulants of the intensity normalized by its mean.

Road traffic noise, sleep and mental health
Environmental Research, 2014This study examines the relationship between road traffic noise, self-reported sleep quality and mental health. The study is cross-sectional and based on data from a survey conducted in Oslo, Norway, in 2000. Psychological distress (Hopkins Symptom Checklist, HSCL-25) was measured along with self-reported somatic health, sleep quality, noise ...
