Abstract

In the article the problem of the negative impact of noise on human health and on the structure of Gen-eral morbidity of the population. The authors consider the problem of noise pollution in the city of Kaluga. Shows the dynamics of change in the number of vehicles and noise pollution over the past ten years. It is shown that today's cars are the dominant sources of noise in the urban environment. Is the interpretation of the results of field acoustic measurements performed on the main city highways. The regularities of changes of noise levels in different seasons of the year. The conclusion about exceeding regulatory admissible values of acoustic impact on the territory of the city of Kaluga.
