A Whopping 57 dB of traffic noise before 6am in the Village of Justice IL

Highest level of traffic noise (No train, No Local Cars driving, No Plane Noise and No Rain) In this 200+ day project of recording sound levels in the Village of Justice, IL. As what could be considered par for the course- the noise is coming from the I-294 direction with only light traffic on Archer rd.  Hard to make light on the subject when one can remember a time that traffic noise was not an issue.

Hard to believe it can be this loud being 8/10 of a mile away (as a crow flies) from I294
