A questionnaire-based study was performed in an area of about 16 ha near a main road in Tokyo to elucidate any relations between road traffic noise and the effects of this noise among women living on both sides of the road. Questions concerned annoyance, sleep disturbance, interference with daily ac

## In this report, we analyze the relationship between noise reduction and the thickness and aggregate size of the drainage asphalt road surface. Earlier results indicated overall noise reductions of 3-5 dB. However, noise reductions of 5-10 dB are necessary to improve the urban roadride areas of Ja
Near the tyre/road contact area, the road surface and the tyre belt form a horn-like geometry, which provides a signi"cant ampli"cation mechanism for sound sources. Measurements have been carried out on a stationary tyre placed on a plane surface in an otherwise anechoic chamber. Following the recip
This study was designed to assess the e!ects of road tra$c noise and frogs' croaking on the objective and subjective quality of sleep in a laboratory. The subjects were seven male students aged 19}21 years. They were exposed to recorded road tra$c noise and frogs' croaking, with 49)6 and 49)5 dB(A)
In Part I, it was shown that boundary element method calculations could successfully be applied to determine sound ampli"cation by a tyre/road geometry. However, the computations are expensive, limited to frequencies below 2500 Hz, and provide little physical insight. In Part II, two supplementary a
There is considerable public concern about the noise produced by traffic running on concrete road surfaces. This is considered by some to be both louder and harsher than that produced under similar conditions by traffic travelling on bituminous road surfaces. The Highways Agency of the Department of
