Human tolerance to noise levels created by vehicular traffic has been examined. A review of available literature indicated that there are numerous suggested maximum highway noise levels, although general consensus indicates that for a noise beyond 70 dBA, complaints are likely. Most investigations pertain only to daytime noise levels; therefore, it
