In today's society, traffic noise is a serious problem. The term 'noise' should not be confused with the term sound. Noise is the generation of sounds that are unwanted. With respect to traffic, noise would be the generation of sounds that affect the quality of life for persons near roadways. Therefore, traffic noise can be considered an environmental pollution because it lowers the standard of living. Research in Europe and in the United States has indicated that it is possible to build pavement surfaces that will reduce the level of noise generated on roadways. This paper provides the results of testing to define the noise levels of selected highway sections in the vicinity of Las Vegas, NV. The study concluded that the OGFC pavement being used by the Nevada DOT will provide the citizens of Nevada with a low-noise pavement surface.
