TL;DR: The theory discussed in the present study enables us to predict the time-average sound level, LAT, when the distance between the stopping line and the receiver exceeds the road width, acceleration length, and the length of the vehicle’s queue.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the dependence of traffic noise annoyance on the traffic speed and the percentage of heavy vehicles on the normalized A-weighted sound pressure level of the traffic noise.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a model to estimate the exposure level and the time-average sound level of a high-speed train in an open space, where the receiver is assumed to be close to the track.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model of ground effect and turbulence, which are disturbed by other wave phenomena, is developed, which makes it possible to predict the sound level, L A, of noise from a stationary source (i.e. industrial noise) and the time-average sound level L AeqT of noise coming from moving sources (e.g. road traffic).

TL;DR: In this article, a simplified model of ground effect and refraction was applied for the motionless atmosphere with a linear sound speed profile, and the model made possible the prediction of LAeqT at an altitude of a few tens of meters above the ground surface, within a few hundred meters from the road.
