A test method for measuring and evaluating noise at properties adjacent to highways is described. Also presented is a quick and simple method for determining the noise reduction offered by noise barriers of varying height, from a cross section and the use of a noise nomograph, as an aid in barrier design. Empirical verification is cited under precise field conditions.
