Abstract

Noise is becoming a great problem in countries throughout the world Traffic noise represents the greatest noise in towns. The main factors governing the resulting traffic noise level are the traffic density, nature of flow and the distance from the center of road. Field investigations on the two types of traffic noise, namely continuous & discontinuous flow were carried out in different location in greater Cairo.
This paper deals with the first type. The analysis of noise levels is given. A good correlation between the equivalent noise level and the traffic density was found.
