Conclusions: Ambient noise levels meas ured in all three cities were correlated with traffic data,
highlighting the importance of traffic planning in mitigating noise-related heal theffects.Model
performance was sensiti veto the traffic data used as input.Future noise studies thatuse modeled noise
estimates shoulde valuate traffic data quality and should ideally in clude other factors,suchas local
roadway,building,andmeteorologicalcharacteristics.
