Transportation Noise Decreases with increasing distance – a corridor
problem Generated by:
Engine Exhaust Aerodynamic friction Interaction between tire-pavement

Control of Transportation Noise Federal -- Noise control act of 1972
Recognized noise as a major degrader of urban living
Encourage use of noise standards State and local governments
Also institute noise control

Noise Measurement Intensity of a single sound is measured on
a relative of logarithmic scale Uses a unit called a bel (B) or subunit –
decibel (dB) At 14 bels, sound is painful to human ear
![Page 7: CE 453 Lecture 7 Noise Analysis See: // and //.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032310/56649d6f5503460f94a51c36/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Noise Propagation Noise is generated at source and spreads
spherically away from source Intensity diminishes with distance Losses also occur from sound energy being
dissipated as sound is transferred by air particles Bending and diffraction occurs as sound waves
encounter natural and manufactured solid objects
![Page 9: CE 453 Lecture 7 Noise Analysis See: // and //.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032310/56649d6f5503460f94a51c36/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Noise Control Strategies Minimize noise levels
Source controls Vehicle control devices – maintenance, traffic and
highway design controls Path controls
Sound barriers that reflect and diffuse noise Buffer zones
Receiver-side controls insulation
![Page 10: CE 453 Lecture 7 Noise Analysis See: // and //.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032310/56649d6f5503460f94a51c36/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Noise abatement measures Traffic management (see next slide) Buffer zones Vegetation Noise insulation Relocating the highway

Traffic management measures Prohibit trucks Truck routes Prohibit daytime (or night-time) use Traffic signal timing Speed limits
Will all these work?

What are L10 and Leq?
L10 is usually about 3dB greater than Leq
![Page 22: CE 453 Lecture 7 Noise Analysis See: // and //.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032310/56649d6f5503460f94a51c36/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

What are L10 and Leq?
The equivalent sound level is the steady- state, A-weighted sound level which contains the same amount of acoustic energy as the actual time-varying, A-weighted sound level over a specified period of time. If the time period is 1 hour, the descriptor is the hourly equivalent sound level, Leq(h), which is widely used by SHAs as a descriptor of traffic noise. An additional descriptor, which is sometimes used, is the L10. This is simply the A-weighted sound level that is exceeded 10 percent of the time.

Noise Barriers (how they work)Noise is "diffracted" over the barrier, this increases the distance it travel to the listener, thus decreasing the noise
