In the course of a large-scale survey of noise nuisance due to road traffic, carried out in the Greater London area and already extensively reported, respondents were invited to evaluate the worth of peace and quiet in monetary terms. The data was submitted to multiple regression analysis and estimates related to noise level and traffic composition were obtained. It was found that at lower levels of nuisance, household income and related variables were major determinants of monetary estimates and played a greater part than noise or traffic variables. The results appear to be comparable with estimates derived by economists from the study of depreciation of house prices as a consequence of noise. The general significance of the findings is discussed and suggestions for further study are made.

Abstract In today’s era, vehicular noise pollution has been identified as a serious danger that influence the attribute of the urban regions. To identify the influence of noise effects, noise maps are very useful. A noise mapping study has been carried out to study the propagation of urban road traffic noise in the areas along with field measurements. The computer simulation model (Sound- PLAN software) is used to developed noise maps. In developing nations like India, traffic composition is heterogeneous. These traffic compositions contain vehicles, which have different sizes, speeds variations and operating systems. Because of fluctuating speeds, deficiency of lane disciplines, and non-authorized parking on main road lanes, honking events becomes inevitable, which changes and affects the urban soundscape of nations like India. Due to horn events (heterogeneous traffic condition), noise level (LAeq) increase by 0.5–8 dB (A) as compared to homogeneous traffic conditions.

The Impact

Over the period of the last few years special attention has been paid to the issue of protecting built-up areas against excessive traffic noise. Prediction and assessment of the level of noise in areas surrounding intersections was of primary interest to the researchers. Studies in this field have been carried out in numerous research centers in Poland and around the world. Existing noise prediction models describe the noise level in areas close to intersections with different degree of accuracy, depending on the number and type of factors included in the model. The paper presents the results of studies on the equivalent noise level in the surroundings of various types of intersections. It shows the impact of the following factors on traffic noise: geometry, traffic organization, traffic composition and distribution as well as the distance from the intersection. It was stated that apart from the basic traffic parameters (intensity and composition) and the characteristics of entries, some factors, including intersection geometry, organization and management of traffic and the traffic conditions should be analysed in greater detail.
