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 ...

Investigations of Effects of Porous Pavement on Traffic Noise and Traffic Noise Prediction
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2013The U.S. Department of Transportation's FHWA Traffic Noise Model (TNM) is currently missing the effect of sound-absorbing pavements on predicted noise levels, in regard to both a reduction in source level and a reduction of sound through propagation.

Traffic Noise and Housing Values
2002Noise is one of the most serious forms of pollution and one of the main causes of the deterioration of the quality of life in urban areas. This paper analyzes the effects of traffic noise on house prices in the historic center of Ferrara. The analysis was done by analyzing the distribution of house prices and noise pollution, using multiple regression.

Air Absorption Of Traffic Noise
Journal of Sound and Vibration, 1993Air absorption is considered as a phenomenon modifying geometrical spreading. Expressions for the maximal A-weighted sound pressure level and the A-weighted sound exposure level are derived for train noise. They are given in terms of the tabulated change in sound pressure level due to air absorption for particular values of characteristic frequency ...

Long-term residential road traffic noise and mortality in a Danish cohort.
Environmental Research, 2020Transportation noise is a growing public health concern worldwide and epidemiological evidence has linked road traffic noise with mortality. However, incongruent effect estimates have been reported between incidence and mortality studies.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1997
A one-parameter model (ξ) for stop-and-go noise is developed. The physics of the phenomenon is based on the idea of the linear density of radiated energy. The methodology of ξ determination has been worked out and illustrated. The noise interaction with the surface of the ground is considered to be the only wave phenomenon that disturbs geometrical ...

Artificial intelligence based ensemble model for prediction of vehicular traffic noise.
Environmental Research, 2019Vehicular traffic noise is the main source of noise pollution in major cities around the globe. A reliable and accurate method for the estimation of vehicular traffic noise is therefore essential for creating a healthy noise-free environment.

The effects of various traffic, ground cover, and geometric conditions on traffic noise propagation were evaluated in this study. There were two general methods of data collection. The first method consisted of using as many as four sound-level meters and graphic-level recorders to take simultaneous recordings of the traffic stream; the second method ...
