Noise pollution is recognized as a major problem for the
quality of life in urban areas all over the world. Because
of the increase in the number of cars and industrialization,
noise pollution has also increased. Noise in cities,
especially along main arteries, has reached up disturbing
levels. Residences far from noise sources and near silent
secondary roads are currently very popular. People prefer
to live in places far from noisy urban areas (Yılmaz and
Özer, 1998).
