Noise Data 2016

Description

The dataset provides noise data to facilitate the tracking of trends in transportation-related noise. This dataset includes results from simplified noise modeling methods and should not be used to evaluate noise levels in individual locations. See the documentation for a full description of methodologies and assumptions: https://doi.org/10.21949/1519111 The 2016 National Transportation Noise Map dataset utilized transportation mode input data from 2016 in a model and is current as of October 2020, published by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). Please see the website https://www.bts.gov/geospatial/national-transportation-noise-map, for downloads and more information about these datasets. For web services of these data, please navigate to https://geo.dot.gov/server/rest/services/Hosted and search for service names beginning with "Noise." Data within the National Transportation Noise Map represent potential noise levels across the nation for an average annual day for the specified year. These data are intended to facilitate the tracking of trends in transportation-related noise by mode collectively over time and should not be used to evaluate noise levels in individual locations and/or at specific times. This dataset is developed using a 24-hr equivalent A-weighted sound level (denoted by LAeq) noise metric. The results represent the approximate average noise energy due to transportation noise sources over a 24-hour period at the receptor locations where noise is computed. Layers include Aviation and Road Noise for the Lower 48 States as well as Alaska and Hawaii.
