Atmosphere, 2022 Road traffic simultaneously emits noise and air pollution. This relation is primarily assessed by comparing A-weighted noise levels (LAeq) and various air pollutants.

Traffic noise inhibits cognitive performance in a songbird
Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2021 Noise pollution is commonly associated with human environments and mounting evidence indicates that noise has a variety of negative effects on wildlife. Noise has also been linked to cognitive impairment in humans and because many animals use cognitively

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

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

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

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

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.

Dynamic estimation of urban traffic noise: Influence of traffic and noise source representations [PDF]
Applied Acoustics, 2008 The need for traffic noise prediction models that take traffic dynamics into account has been recently shown for urban areas. Such models couple a dynamic representation of traffic with noise emission laws. The contribution of the paper is to test different traffic and noise source representations for LAeq and statistical levels estimation.
