WHAT IS NOISE POLLUTION ?Sound that is unwanted or disrupts ones quality oflife is called as noise.
Sound becomes undesirable when it disturbs the
normal activities such as working, sleeping, andduring conversations.
It is an underrated environmental problem because of
the fact that we cant see, smell, or taste it.
World Health Organization stated that Noise must berecognized as a major threat to human well- being

Health EffectsThere are direct links between noise and health. Also,noise pollution adversely affects the lives of millions of
people.
Noise pollution can damage physiological and psychological health.
High blood pressure, stress related illness, sleep
disruption, hearing loss, and productivity loss are the problems related to noise pollution.
It can also cause memory loss, severe depression, and panic attacks.3

The noise level alongside a freeway might be in
the range of 70 to 80 db.
Exterior noise levels reach 65 to 70 db, people
living inside the building have to close window tohold conversation.
Noise levels in home should not exceed 40-45 db,levels that are often exceeded by traffic noise withthe windows closed .

Do not reduce noise atsource.
Increasing the distance between the source and the
receiver.Inserting an obstruction (such as a noise barrier wall).
How to control noise?

67 dB(A)
50 ft
A reduction of 3 dB(A) is like doublingthe distance from the noise.
67 dB(A)
100 ft
- 3 dB(A) = 64 dB(A)

HIGHWAY TRAFFIC NOISEVehicle-generated noise comes from:
engine,exhaust system,
aerodynamic noisetire noise.
For > 50 mph, pavement/tire noise dominates.

TIRE/PAVEMENT NOISEGENERATION
Source Generation MechanismsTread impact
At the interface between the tire and pavementan impact occurs as the tread hits the pavement.

Within the contact patch, the passages and grooves in thetire are compressed anddistorted. The air entrained inthese passages will becompressed and pumped inand out. Because of aircompression effects and air
pumping, aerodynamicallygenerated sound is created.

Slip-stickIf horizontal forces exceed the limits of friction, the
tread block will slip briefly and then re-stick to the pavement. This action of slipping and will generate both noise and vibration.

Stick-snapThe contact between the tread block and the pavementcauses adhesion between the tread block and pavement.When the tread block exits the contact patch, theadhesive force holds the tread block. The release of the
tread block causes both sound energy and vibration ofthe tire carcass

TIRE NOISE MEASUREMENTStatistical Passby : methods utilize a random sample of typical vehicles
measured one at a time.
The maximum sound pressure level is captured for each passby using a sound measurement system such as asound level meter (SLM).
The speed and vehicle type of each event is recorded. Astatistically significant sample of light and heavy vehiclesmust be collected. The data is used to compute a Statistical
Passby Index (SPBI)14

The measurement site must be selected to avoid background noise, reflections, or terrain that mightaffect the measurement

Close Proximity Methods (CPX):Close proximity methods (CPX) were developed toallow measurement to focus on tire/pavementinteraction noise.
The measurement is taken on a trailer, usingmicrophones located near the tire.The trailer includes a hood over the microphonessuch that wind noise is reduced and noise fromother traffic is reflected

Asphalt mixtures1.Porous Asphalt Pavement
Porous pavements- constructed by reducing the amount ofsmall aggregate
Porosity reduces the strength of the air pumpingsource mechanism by preventing air compression
Porous pavements are capable of reducing
traffic noise, by absorbing sound .18

Surface course: 50-100 mm porous or open-graded
asphalt mix.
Filter course: 50-75 mm opengraded crushed aggregate
provides filtering capabilitiesas well as a providing asuitable platform for paving
Reservoir course:50 75 mmsingle sized aggregates.

2.Stone mastic asphalt (SMA) mixtures:
consist of a gap-graded aggregate with the upper sievesizes of 5.6 mmThe typical air void content of SMA mixtures is
between 1.5 and 3.0%, and the layer thickness is between 2 and 3 cm.The mixtures have both good mechanical performanceand friction properties, and are applicable for a normaltraffic load ;

3.Portland cement porous pavement(PCPP)
sparse fine-aggregate content -void content in themixture can be as high as 15 30%.
This high void composition allows for noiseabsorption through the porous concrete.Pervious concrete Layer -12-25 cmBase coarse - min 15 cmSub-Base Layer - depends on infiltration rate

CONCLUSIONS
Quiet pavement that is safe, durable and economical has been demonstrated to be possible with current technology
The variation of available materials and constructiontechniques among the states mean that there is no generalguideline available yet for design of quiet pavement
The highway design engineer will need to select fromlocally available pavement type and texture that will
provide noise reduction using the principles described.24
