Abstract

Noise has a big influence to human health. The major source of noise in residential areas is traffic, especially the contact between tyre and pavement of road (tyre/road noise). Asphalt is the most used pavement in residential areas, but cobblestones, for example, are used in historic parts of cities. There are relatively a few road surfaces with cobblestones, but with regard to noise, it is very important to monitor their acoustical behavior. Article compare the tyre/road noise of the stone mastic asphalt with the maximum grain size 11 mm and cobblestones measured by the Close-Proximity method in 2021. The measurements were performed on the same road within the following sections at velocities from 30 to 90 km/h. The results are presented as values of sound pressure level and frequency spectra.
