Traffic Noise Tolerated More Than Industry Noise
George Bonvallet of Armour Research Foundation says traffic noise is less objectionable than industrial noise. He cites public tolerance based on perceived lack of reducibility and the differing patterns of noise rise and fall near the source. He notes industrial noise often starts and stops suddenly and is linked to forging and exhaust blasts.
