In the Netherlands a new freight-only railway route, the ''Betuweroute'', is being planned to carry freight traffic from Rotterdam harbour east into Germany. Inhabitants of areas near the future route are concerned about noise and vibration, and question the relevance of current legislation for a ''

In this paper we describe a mathematical model for the prediction of tra~c noise ltweis in an urban or suburban situation. The model is ultimately intended to provide an alternative to existing methods of prediction. At the present time, only noise levels produced by stationary sound sources have be
A simplified method of evaluating air absorption, in terms of A-weighted sound pressure level and A-weighted sound exposure level, is worked out. The results obtained can be used for prediction of equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level of traffic noise. Up to a few hundred meters from
## SUMMA R Y An objective survey was made of rush-hour traffic noise in Rome, on a statistically representative number of sites included in an area covering the Historical Centre. The mean values of the statistical noise levels L 9 o, L 5 o, L t o, i.e. of the noise levels exceeded for 90 per cent
