I would point out that road works are temporary, but in Sheffield's case I not so sure LOL.
Obviously, not that accurate in real life, but a rough guide. What it doesn't include is noise on a Saturday night from all the bars on our street, which will be significent this Saturday as Hull City is about to play their most important match ever at Wemb-er-ley! (says none footie fan).
Its surpising how close you can live to a source of noise and not hear if the buildings are facing the right way. We can't hear a lot of noise from the main road when we're in the backyard. But if the wind is in the right direction we can easily hear the cheers at KC stadium.
Also of course, some noises are more annoying than others, and the human will tune into certain noises, and affect a persons health if they're annoying enough, even if its a low level noise.
Cheers for the link though, as I can compare it to an actual survey we carried out a few years ago.
