✦ Synopsis

A simple model for assessment of annoyance from road traffic noise is suggested. The model is based on the noise index Lr, q, introduced by the author in a previous paper. This index may be either measured directly or estimated based on measured values for L,q and L,,,,,. The percentage of heavy vehicles is also included in the model. By applying these values to two simple nomograms the annoyance caused by that particular traMc situation may be estimated. The proposed model may give a better understanding of the eltects of noise control measures such as road side noise barriers and traffic regulations.
