Highlights ► The behavior of a sample of vehicles and drivers in Madrid is related to noise creation. ► Aggressive driving results in more vehicular noise. ► Noise emission vary by the type of engine in a car.

    Abstract In this work, a sample of vehicles has been instrumented to measure of variables that influence vehicle noise emissions in Madrid. A circuit reproducing a normal travel pattern in large city is traveled by a fleet of vehicle models representing the fleets of cars in a European city. A sample of drivers covers the test track under different traffic conditions. Driving parameters and noise emitted have been recorded in each test and average values have been extracted. These data have been analyzed to define the noise emissions produced by a vehicle in real driving conditions and to identify the noisiest driving behaviors.
