Extensive results of traffic noise measured at 258 roadside sites in the high-rise city of Hong Kong are reported. From the results of this investigation the measurement sites can be very simply classified into three categories: enclosed, semi-enclosed and open. Distinct differences were found in the soundpressure levels L 1 o, Ls0 and t9o and in the standard deviations obtained at the enclosed site and at the semi-enclosed and open sites. Comparison with the results of similar measurements of traffic noise in other cities indicates that Hong Kong can be considered as the noisiest.
