Analysis of the concentration of traffic flows in cities and towns when assessing the potential noise level in residential areas

The paper is aimed at analyzing the concentration of traffic flows that influence the noise pollution nature in the urban environment (using the city of Murom as an example). It has been established that the historically established structure of the city traffic flows, interregional freight traffic through the city, and, especially, the territorial division of the city into two large districts with natural restrictions on transport connections between them, lead to the formation of potentially increased noise level zones. Areas of the city territory where noise level measurements should be carried out were identified. Under these conditions, a conclusion was made about the relevance of creating a noise passport for large and small cities
