Traffic Noise Compared To Industry Noise Says Study
George Bonvallet of Armour Research Foundation at Illinois Institute of Technology told the Acoustical Society of America that traffic noise is less objectionable than industrial noise. He cited two factors: public tolerance of public transportation noise and gradual intensity changes with distance, versus abrupt changes in factory noise. He noted factory noise outside plants is not as loud as rumored, with only about six percent of industrial noise potentially objectionable.
