A phantom road experiment reveals traffic noise is an invisible source of habitat degradation

A phantom road experiment reveals traffic noise is an invisible source of habitat degradation.

Decades of research demonstrate that roads impact wildlife and suggest traffic noise as a primary cause of population declines near roads. We created a "phantom road" using an array of speakers to apply traffic noise to a roadless landscape, directly testing the effect of noise alone on an entire songbird community during autumn migration. Thirty-one percent of the bird community avoided the ph...

Association of Road Traffic Noise Exposure and Driving Behaviors

Background: The noise caused by traffic is an increasingly prominent feature of urban environments. However, limited studies have been focused on the assessment of exposure-response relationship between road traffic noise exposure and driving behaviors in Iran. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of the violations caused by road traffic noise exposure in Qazvin, Iran. Methods...

road traffic noise model

background : the recognition of road traffic noise as one of the main sources of environmental pollution has led to develop models that enable to predict noise level from fundamental variables. traffic noise prediction models are required as aids for designing roads and highways. in addition, sometimes are used in the assessment of existing or envisaged changes in traffic noise conditions. in t...
