Background:

Transport systems (roads, railways, aircraft) are primary sources of environmental noise pollution.
Increasing exposure to transport noise negatively affects public health, causing annoyance and sleep disturbance.
International and national legislation aims to mitigate the adverse effects of transport noise.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe measurement techniques for road, railway, and aircraft noise.
To align with recent Italian legislation on environmental noise assessment.
To provide standardized methods for evaluating transport noise pollution.

Main Methods:

Detailed description of measurement techniques specified in Italian legislation.
Focus on methodologies for assessing noise from road traffic.
Inclusion of procedures for measuring railway and aircraft noise impacts.

Main Results:

The paper outlines specific technical procedures for noise measurement.
It addresses the requirements set forth by current Italian environmental laws.
The described techniques enable consistent evaluation of transport noise levels.

Conclusions:

Accurate measurement of transport noise is crucial for effective environmental protection.
Adherence to legislative measurement techniques ensures compliance and noise reduction.
The study provides a valuable resource for implementing and enforcing noise control measures.
