Description
Summary:—Problems of transport-noise monitoring have been considered. The existing approaches to transport-noise monitoring have a number of disadvantages. The influence of noise from transport and other sources on public health was estimated. The results showed there to be a reliable, statistically significant dependence of the increase in illness among the population on acoustical pollution. A new system of transport-noise monitoring was suggested and approved in the conditions of Russia’s Samara oblast. This system has a number of advantages for acoustic research. The acoustic characteristics of separate vehicles and their spectral values were investigated as well. Analysis of our measurement results of the transport noise from cars of different kinds shows that the most significant noise values are observed within a low-frequency range. Thus, when reducing transport noise down to appropriate hygienic values, special attention should be paid to reduction of the low-frequency component of noise.
