Theoretical Comparison of the Effects of Different Traffic Conditions on Urban Road Traffic Noise
Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2018 Road traffic noise is one of the most relevant sources in the environmental noise pollution of the urban areas where dynamics of the traffic flow are much more complicated than uninterrupted traffic flows.

The Effect of Road Traffic Noise on Reaction Time
Health Promotion Perspectives, 2015 Traffic noise is one of the main important sources in urban noise pollution, which causes various physiological and psychological effects that can cause disturbs in performance, sleep disturbances, hearing loss and impact on job performance. This study was conducted to verify the impact of road traffic noise on reaction time in terms of extraversion ...

Effects of self-reported sensitivity and road-traffic noise levels on the immune system.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Sensitivity to noise, particularly road traffic noise, can increase cortisol levels and result in changes in immune system biomarkers. Therefore, continuous exposure to noise can have an effect on immune function, hormonal levels, and cardiovascular ...

Landscaping for road traffic noise abatement: Model validation
Environmental Modelling & Software, 2018 Abstract Deliberately changing terrain undulation and ground characteristics (“acoustical landscaping”) is an potential noise abatement solution near roads. However, there is hardly any research regarding the validity of sound propagation models to predict its effectiveness.

Children’s annoyance reactions to aircraft and road traffic noise
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009 Since annoyance reactions of children to environmental noise have rarely been investigated, no source specific exposure-response relations are available. The aim of this paper is to investigate children’s reactions to aircraft and road traffic noise and to derive exposure-response relations.

Journal of research in health sciences, 2013 The recognition of road traffic noise as one of the main sources of environmental pollution has led to develop models that enable to predict noise level from fundamental variables. Traffic noise prediction models are required as aids for designing roads and highways.
