In order to evaluate noise characteristic of concrete pavements with different texture, specimens were prepared carefully by varying groove parameters, such as groove width and space between grooves. Employing tire impact method, the noise level and noise spectrum of different pavements were analyzed. The results indicate that the noise level of transverse grooved concrete pavement is the greatest, and the followings are glossy concrete pavement and longitudinal grooved concrete pavement, porous concrete pavement has the lowest noise level. For grooved pavement, the noise level is promoted with increasing the space between grooves. Besides that, the noise level of transverse grooved concrete pavement becomes greater as the groove width increases. For longitudinal grooved pavement, there is a contrary tendency. It is porous concrete pavement for a frequency larger than 1600HZ. In the whole frequency range, the noise-reduction ability of transverse grooved concrete pavement is the worst.
