How Noisy Is Your Neighborhood?

Neat idea. Although I think it's basing this mainly (only?) on road and air traffic data. It doesn't seem to include noise generated by the railways--at least where I looked.

It's not supposed to, yet. But that is pretty important. My gf lives in an urban high-rise, and it's not noisy at all, except for the (above-ground at this point) subway that runs right next to the building.

"Road and Aviation Noise in the United States" is at the top.

> future versions of the National Transportation Noise Map are envisioned to include additional transportation noise sources, such as rail and maritime.

That's in About.

Yes, the lack of railways significantly impacts accuracy on SF peninsula at least.

Good ole Caltrain. Or more annoyingly the freight trains that run at 2am and are even more noisy.
