✦ Synopsis

A noise survey has been undertaken on over 1000 vehicles operating on public roads'. By the use oJ a remote device, vehicle velocity and acceleration have been measured and related to the instantaneous sound pressure level emissionji'om the vehicle. The relationship is expressed in terms oj A-weighted sound pressure level as a Junction of both velocity and acceleration. Octave band sound pressure levels" are also expressed as junctions of these variables. Light and heavy vehicle groups are considered separaleO.
