download PDFAbstract. The study carried out an analysis of the urban traffic noise parameters on Sundays and Saturdays. The results of noise simulations according to the Cnossos-EU model were compared with the sound level calculated by a permanent automatic sound and traffic volume monitoring station. The variations in results were evaluated. Analyzes carried out showed that the traffic of passenger vehicles is the main source of road noise. A very good agreement of the noise values determined according to the Cnossos-EU model and the measured ones was obtained. The maximum noise values on Sundays are only slightly smaller than on Saturdays. The shape of the noise diagram and the noise values at individual hours of the day on Saturdays are different than on Sundays. An experimental model of noise variability at weekends has been proposed. The equations describing the variability of the equivalent sound level were validated. Fit factor R2 of the proposed equations to the experimental data ranges from 0.85 to 0.94.
