Road traffic noise and hypertension [PDF]
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2006 Background:It has been suggested that noise exposure increases the risk of hypertension. Road traffic is the dominant source of community noise exposure.Objective:To study the association between exposure to residential road traffic noise and hypertension in an urban municipality.Methods:The study population comprised randomly selected subjects aged 19–

Development of a highway geometry based noise abatement model
Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives, 2021 Exposure to noise generated from traffic has led to significant annoyance and sleep deprivation in people. Continuous exposure to traffic noise can lead to mental instability and reduce the learning rate of children. Many cases of cardiovascular diseases,

, 2021 Currently, noise pollution is a major problem especially in urban areas, and moreover traffic noise is the most significant source of noise in cities. A large number of cars and other road vehicles that have internal combustion engines are making road traffic noise a leading noise pollution source.

Traffic noise and the hyperbolic plane [PDF]
Annals of Physics, 2010 We consider the problem of sound propagation in a wind. We note that the rays, as in the absence of a wind, are given by Fermat's principle and show how to map them to the trajectories of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field on a curved space. For the specific case of sound propagating in a stratified atmosphere with a small wind speed we show

Traffic Noise and its Impact on Wellness of the Residents in Sambalpur City – a Critical Analysis
Archives of Acoustics, 2021 Noise is unwanted sound judged to be unpleasant, loud or disruptive to hearing. Like air pollution, noise pollution is one of the serious matters of concern in urban areas. Noise pollution occurs when noise level exceeds certain limit and has deleterious

Evaluation of Strategic Noise Maps Arising from Urban Traffic
Doğal Afetler ve Çevre Dergisi, 2021 Environmental noise from traffic, industry and entertainment in cities has been one of the important environmental problems. In developed countries, noise from highways, airways and railways are the second major health problem. Traffic noise has negative

Development of an open-source road traffic noise model for exposure assessment [PDF]
, 2015 This paper describes the development of a model for assessing TRAffic Noise EXposure (TRANEX) in an open-source geographic information system. Instead of using proprietary software we developed our own model for two main reasons: 1) so that the treatment

INTERDEPENDENCE OF NOISE AND TRAFFIC FLOW [PDF]
TRANSPORT, 2008 Traffic flows in cities, especially in city centres, are intensive and uneven, moreover, registered noise levels exceed allowable limits. Noise levels have been measured at K. Mindaugo ave. and Birštono street crossing in Kaunas and data of automated traffic flow registration equipment have been used.

Acoustical and perceptual assessment of water sounds and their use over road traffic noise [PDF]
, 2013 This paper examines physical and perceptual properties of water sounds generated by small to medium sized water features that have applications for road traffic noise masking.
