City noise measured in motorways

The Vperyod newspaper has published a comparative review of the loudest and the quietest neighbourhoods of Sergiyev Posad. The city’s main motorway junction was used as a reference point for measuring sound levels across the city. Here’s a list of the three quietest entries, measured in motorways:

Please note, this sound was recorded outside the experiment and cannot be directly compared to other recordings in terms of loudness.

Gospital’naya Street (Sergiyev Posad South-East): 0,48 motorways

Uyezdnaya Street (Sergiyev Posad South North-West): 0,46 motorways

Zubachyovo (Sergiyev Posad North-East): 0,48 motorways

These sound recordings were taken three weeks after the review was published, so the results may vary – but still the trend is obvious.
