Road traffic noise and children’s inattention [PDF]

Environmental Health, 2017
An increasing number of children are exposed to road traffic noise levels that may lead to adverse effects on health and daily functioning. Childhood is a period of intense growth and brain maturation, and children may therefore be especially vulnerable to road traffic noise.

Cardiovascular and metabolic effects of long-term traffic noise exposure [PDF]

, 2012
Traffic noise is an increasingly common environmental exposure affecting large parts of the European population. Since the auditory system is directly linked to the sympathetic nervous and the endocrine systems, noise may induce a stress response ...

A Statistical Analysis of Traffic Flow Characteristics of Multilane Highways in Baghdad City, Part B: Traffic Noise Levels

Tikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2007
Road traffic noise is a function of basic traffic element (flow, speed, density) and percentage of heavy vehicles. The recognition of traffic noise as a one of the main sources of environmental pollution has led to the development of statistical models ...

The effect of traffic flows on urban soundscape dynamics and how to analyze it [PDF]

, 2004
Subjective evaluation of soundscapes considers without a doubt the change in amplitude and frequency of the acoustic signal over time. The urban environment can make these soundscape dynamics become rather complex and interesting.

Selecting Noise Source and Traffic Representations that Capture Road Traffic Noise Dynamics Near Traffic Signals [PDF]

Acta Acustica united with Acustica, 2009
Considering trafic dynamics greatly improves noise estimation in urban area. This can be achieved by coupling a dynamic trafic model with both noise emission laws and sound propagation calculation. Determining the relevant noise source and trafic representations to estimate classical noise descriptors (L-Aeq and statistical descriptors) near trafic ...
