High-rise residential apartment buildings are an important form of housing in major cities and densely populated built-up areas. Due to limited space and high land price in urban areas, city streets and urban expressways are often built near high-rise residential buildings. Hence, to develop a good-quality living environment for high-rise building residents, it is important to study different variables which will influence the traffic noise exposure levels at various points of a high-rise residential building. Such variables include traffic flow volume, traffic composition and speed, road geometric alignment and materials used in pavement construction, urban landscape and geometric characteristics and façade design of the building studied. The findings for this study are valuable during the urban residential town planning phase. By predicting the traffic composition and the maximum allowable traffic speed allowed for the urban residential area concerned, the general trend of the traffic noise exposure levels of a high-rise building can be predicted.
