Abstract:Studies have shown that motor vehicle noise is a significant national problem in many communities. Construction of traffic noise barriers (sound walls) has been the most often used mechanism to mitigate vehicle noise for residents living next to high density roadways or proposed high density roadways. The purpose of this three-phase research project is to develop guidelines and a design guide for analysis, design, and construction of effective noise barrier systems in Texas. This report provides the progress accomplished in phase I, which was a literature review and review of current noise barrier design and construction practices in Texas. The report provides an excellent acoustical background on how noise barriers work and summarizes the current noise analysis software.
