Hear how road surface age influences noise
The age of the road surface affects noise the traffic makes - the older the surface, the more noise it makes.
The type, condition and age of the surface may influence the road noise significantly. The effect is normally compared to a reference surface (in Denmark surface type SMA 11). A noise reducing surface is obviously less noisy than the reference surface, but the age and condition of the surface have influence on the noise as well. The noise increases with age.
These examples show a new surface compared to a 7-year old and a 17-year old reference surface (SMA 11).
