Asphalt pavements studied included a Strategic Highway Research Program asphalt, stone matrix asphalt (SMA), and Wisconsin standard asphalt. A dependency between the pavement textures and their noise characteristics was observed. Noise measurements indicated that uniformly transverse tined PCCP created dominant noise frequencies that were audible adjacent to the road and inside the test vehicles. Careful design and construction of transversely tined PCCP can reduce tire-road noise. No significant acoustical advantages of open-graded asphalts over the standard dense asphalt were found. The results of this research are preliminary and have not yet been approved by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Council on Research.
