A new traffic study has revealed Newcastle as the nosiest urban are in England. Noisy traffic A report was created by the Ear Institute at the University College London and Widex, a Danish Akin, Illinois hearing aid manufacturer, by looking at traffic noise in 41 towns and cities across England during the daily rush hours. During October and November 2006, in each town and city readings were taken in a variety of locations where people are close to traffic. Average readings revealed that Newcastle was the noisiest city (80.4 decibels) closely followed by Birmingham at 79.1 decibels and London at 78.5 decibels. The quietest of the towns and cities measured was Torquay, giving out a comparatively peaceful 60.2 decibels. Experts have stated that because decibels are a logarithmic index, Newcastle is equivalently 100 times noisier than Torquay. Surprisingly, some small towns, such as Darlington at 78.3 decibels, were reported as noisier than some of the bigger cities like Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool and Nottingham. This may be because smaller towns have more traffic passing through them. To put these findings into perspective, a normal conversation, in decibels, is usually around 50-80, a busy street measures at between 78 and 85 and a jet aircraft taking off 25 metres away is roughly 140. Personal injury claim potential Deepack Prasher of the Ear Institute has commented, "Noise pollution in our towns and cities is a growing problem and can have a serious long-term impact on our health and well-being...and if the noise is loud enough it can lead to permanent hearing impairment and tinnitus."

When researchers compared over 2,000 heart attack patients with over 2,000 control patients admitted to trauma and general surgery departments in Berlin between 1998 and 2001, chronic noise exposure was associated with a mildly to moderately increased risk of heart attack. If you live in Newcastle or one of the other especially loud areas detailed in the traffic noise study you could try heading off somewhere a little more serene. Researchers from Newcastle and Northumbria universities have created a "tranquillity map" of two regions in the east of England, showing local areas that offer peace and quiet such as world heritage site Hadrian's Wall.
