Abstract
A school was selected for the testing of the effects of resilient rubber pads as noise control devices on a nearby elevated rail track. In addition three school classrooms received acoustical treatment to the ceilings. Teachers and students reported a quieter atmosphere after installation of the pads. Reading scores in the year prior to installation were lower on the noisy side of the building, but after installation of the rubber pads and the noise-absorbing ceilings there were no differences in reading achievement between children on the noisy side and those on the quiet side. Possible explanations of these findings and implications for social policy decisions are discussed.
